Capricorn decided to have every part bind a little when you first build the car. When you sand the parts just a little with a 400 grit piece of sandpaper all the parts will fit beautifully and with no slop at all.
Same thing goes for all the ball links, Xray parts have slop from the start, especially the steering assembly, Capricorn parts are a little tight but slop free.
So you mean that the pins are free in the holes but actually the arms have too much material and they need to be sanded down to fit between the bulkheads, for instance?
I don't know about the Xray. All i know is that for us Americans having to file, sand down parts, etc is actually not practical and in my opinion means a poor finish in the product.

Thanks for the info DS, anybody else has feedback?
