AC aftermarket upper A-arm issues?

[bm2004x]

Has anyone had any issues with the bushings wearing out after a short time on the upper A-arms from AC? I had mine put on in January of 2011 and recently upgraded my steering. the steering is so good, it uncovered a flaw in the suspension somehow. the truck was pulling like crazy when i hit the seams in the highway pavement so i looked closely and noticed when i pull on the top of the tire, in and out, i get about 1/4" to 1/2" of movement in the bushings where the A-arm and frame meet. These things get greased all the time and everything else is tight, ball joints, lower arms, cam bolts.....etc. i spoke with Mike at AC and he said he will not warranty bushings and that is why they make a bushing replacement kit????? its 50 for the kit and gobble knows how much to swap. Is this going to happen every 22,000 miles or 2 years??

you may have installed the bushings backwards. If you have red bushings on the outside and blacks on the inside, you have it backwards...I had mine backwards, and there was play in it just like you describe. Re-installed correctly, fixed it

this is backwards...
