Car pulls hard under a load and has clunk in front end...

My car has the pedders with pillow ball mounts. I get a clunk from both sides of the car which I originally thought was swaybar endlinks as my powergrids kind of broke pretty easily not too long ago. I was just wanting to know if anyone had ever heard of control arm bushings going out on a lowered car earlier. Car has 36,000 miles on the body and I can't seem to get anything to move when the car is in the air and struts are unbolted. I can't get any movement out of the pillowball strut mounts and if I can't get any movement out of it, I would assume that its not significant enough for my car to change lanes on me under a load. To me this is too aggressive for torque steer, especially when I had the G85. Car did this before the trans went. I'm wanting to fix this before taking it to ZZP for a dyno tune and trans as I would rather the car not jump off the dyno.

Thats what I was thinking. I guess I'll buy two new control arms for it. I did notice when I adjusted the coilovers up for more clearance with the bigger intercooler and they aligned my car, they had the passenger camber adjustment wayy to the outside compared to the drivers side.
