Performance bushings: I think stiffer bushings would be poly (polyethylene). These are available for most suspensions. You may have to look around. Here is one person’s experience.

I needed an upper ball joint and decided to replace both.  Good thing.

Both sides were this way, and the other ball joint was dry as a bone.  Just ready to fail.
I put in new sway bar bushings at the same time.  I wonder if anyone makes hard, performance bushings for these cars.  That would do a lot for handling over all these squishy ones.
I would say, if you are having camber problems, this control arm is your most likely suspect.

Very easy job.
