The powerflex bushing for the thrust rod is a 2 piece bushing with a collar in the middle.

Regarding your bushing issue, is the new bushing pressed in place correctly? it has to be exactly where the old bushing was or else they'll sit off or prematurely wear out. I dont think the ball joint on the hub carrier would cause the arm to move the way you describe. Did you tighten the bolts down with the car on the ground with a load on the suspension or up in the air with the wheels off the ground?
