Hard right turn clunk

These are the easy way to replace the rubber bushing with well, rubber bushings. Three mounting bolts and the ball joint pinch bolt per side . Done!
But with the problem solver bushings from Moog and installing their ball joints , I had to drill the rivets once , now the ball joints are bolt in.

I no longer work for a living, but people I did work with have their own shops now. Press, tools and such are no problem to change out the forward bushing. I do like the Moog replacement part. It is strange that the rear one on the arm doesn't look to be a problem area. I did come across a youtube that shows that one has splash shields attached to the mounting bolts to prevent road grime getting into it.

If you think about it, then it's a bad design. As the suspension travels up and down (a), then it will pivot correctly in the front bushing (b).
The problem is the rear bushing (c). Since it's 90 degrees offset from (b), then it doesn't rotate like a normal bushing. It just twists side to side and flexes the rubber until it wears out.
Wow. I've got too much time on my hands.
