Replaced the lower control arms that i had installed poly bushings with stock replacements. Problem solved! As suspected I think it is a bad design for these bushings. The flanges of the ply bushings for the thrust arms rest against each side of the metal arm. The bushings for the control arms only rest against one side with the other side about 1/2" away. It allows too much flex. I could flex the flange with my thumb when i took the poly bushings out.
