It appears that there is no support (outrigger) under the joint. I am assuming (hoping with my fingers crossed) that this could be the cause of the problem. I have a sneaking suspicion on what the true problem might be (bent or broken outrigger) but am hoping otherwise. To add to my problems the lower corners of my door frame have split. Has anyone come across this type of problem? If so how did you go about fixing it? (See attached photos if I've done it right)

Jeff, it looks like you suspicions are correct, you seem to have some lower structural problems going on under your floor.
As far as repairing the lower corners of your door frame, after you get the underlying cause corrected, you can try gusseting a flat aluminum bracket from the bottom of the frame to the sides. Aluminum rivets would be best. If you are handy with money (who is?) you could take out the frame, and have it welded back together. That, however, is a lot of work, and I am not sure the benefits would outweigh the cost, both in time and money.
