Bought some fks 120 at a swap today (the old gold ones) and was mounting them when I noticed one heel has a bit of slop. The problem seems to be the rivet that holds the arm to the baseplate, which seems lose. (Pictured above)

Unfortunately there's no way to tighten it. are there any other fixes? If it helps I have an older pair with the plastic covers over this part

Try taking it to a tech I hate to be the guy offering up the "have a pro do it for you" solution because I don't do it often but I don't know what else you could do. Is it really lose or just a little?

it felt fairly loose at the time bhut when I used them at a rail jam today I didnt notice it so it's probably fine, I have someone check it out if it becomes wobbly while skiing.

Yeah it might just be how the old ones are I've had 3 pairs of the new ones and they wobble a little so they're probably fine get them checked out if they feel fucked you'll know if they need to be checked out

They are totally fine…when you are clicked in they won't wobble.

I have two pairs of pivots and they both started doing that after they had some wear and tear on them. Ive had no problems in 2 seasons with them both like this. I probably wouldnt worry about it
