EDIT**** did not mean to post in crd - mods can move to KJ discussion. sorry *****

I replaced all my suspension bushings 6,000 miles ago. The rear upper control arm was rusted bad and the bushing sleeves were fused to it with corrosion. I just replaced the whole unit.The jeep started walking across lanes again when hitting bumps while turning. I had it back up on the lift and the bushings in the upper control arm are already tearing. Also, if i hit a speed hump (elongated speed bump that you can take at 15mph), i get a clunk when the rear suspension maxes out on its extension. It seems like its the UCA contacting the bracket like you see in the pic below. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a bracket which lowers the axle off the mounting point of the UCA's rear ball joint so it sits at a stock angle?
