Adjustable Strut Rods
Once again it's clear that you don't understand how a poly bushing is supposed to work, and how that's different from how a rubber bushing functions in the same location. They do the same job, but poly and rubber LCA bushings do the job in very different ways. They don't look the same, they don't have the same number of components, they have different lubrication needs. That's just the difference in the materials and the design of the bushing.
The only thing useless here is your commentary. Obviously you've never properly installed a poly bushing, because the issues you're pointing out aren't a problem if the bushing has been properly installed. '
No story. That's an improperly installed LCA bushing. The caster setting on that car has to be abysmal. That's what doing it wrong looks like.
This is what a properly installed poly bushing should look like. No slop, no room to slide back and forth. The LCA is sucked up against the pin and the K frame. That's what the large shoulder on the poly bushings is for, it's another difference in the design between poly and rubber bushings. Poly bushings do not get installed the same way as rubber bushings, the design is different for a reason, they do not function the same way.
This car also has adjustable strut rods that have been adjusted for length, the LCA's move through the entire suspension travel without binding, and the alignment settings have been roughed in and are within spec for a modern, radial tire alignment with about -.75° camber, +5° caster and 1/16" toe in.
