Did you measure the bushings outer casing to compare size? You may have a factory defect in the bushing or the control arm. If the bushing is the same size as the others, you could weld a bead on the inside perimeter of the control arm and file it down to the correct size.
I bought 4 UCA bushings from autozone a while ago and the first pressed in too easy so I checked the others and it turned out that 3 of the 4 were undersized compared to the ones that I removed. I guess they had a bad/undersized run of bushings that nobody caught.

Some one was selling new arms on Ebay.They were a decent price even.As far as the bushing be loos Id check the diamater.The car wont moose control if it is loose.You will have problems keeping the alingment in spec though.I have seen some arms that had a crack in them allowing the bushing to be loose.Rocky
