Default front upper control arm issue

so these first 2 pictures are of the driver's side upper control arm bushing at the axle.







and these 2 pictures are of the passenger side upper control arm bushing at the axle.







I was having pretty bad "death wobble" issues prior now I have lifted it, put a high steer link kit on, a new steering stabilizer, and a 4 wheel alignment and haven't had anything, but I also I haven't driven it much. When I took the front bumper off, I noticed that driver's side bushing and that it doesn't really look like it is supposed to be like that. Am I correct in saying that and that could cause axle play and side to side motion similar to death wobble?

i dont think it would. the side to side is taken care by the track bar. you can unbolt the control arm and hammer the bushing back in.
