Weird I had the same problem but only on the passenger side. The control arm was a good 1/8 away from sitting up against the K member, but on the drivers side it sat tight to the K member.
Do both sides sit the same on your car?
Yep - they were about .25" off on both sides with the energy suspension poly bushings. I'm gonna go ahead and toss them and buy some moog buchings instead. What bushings were you using?
