Looks like your control arm has been spread too far out.

The 8-1/16" measurement should be from the outside of the upper control arm as per Figure 14 on page 5 of the Suspension and Steering section in the 1951 to 54 service manual (1955-56 is the same)

Can't speak for the Raybestos and Moog parts, but Ford D3AZ-3068-A bushings match the original Packard parts.
