New Control arms Vs Polyurethane bushing?

After installing Ohlins Road and Track coilovers with GMG sway bars my suspension started making clunking noise. At first I thought it was the sway bar link and I replaced them. It reduced some of the noise. Now I noticed that the mounting plates are not the same. The passenger side allows the coilover to drift up an extra 1 inch. I assume that the rubber bushing is damaged because of the increase tightness in the setup.
I will replace the mounts with camber plates. While doing so should I replace the old upper and lower control arms or should I order Powerflex bushing and use the old components?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Get the Elephant Racing camber plates - they allow for 3 times the adjustment of all others - necessary if you want to get close to OEM alignment specs with after-market suspension - better than OEM!

I wish I knew that before. I already ordered Vorshlag camber plates.
What do you think of the powerflex bushing?
