Well I purchased a 95 burban from a friend .
the only Odd thing is the right front wheel set further back then the left
and the shock is hitting the bump stop . Is this a bent lower control arm or bad bushing?
 
Sounds like you may have opened a can of worms. That front end is touchy, even in good shape. My guess is it has been in some sort of a collision, or hit something really hard. A bad bushing won't make that big of a difference. I'd start by checking the frame and making sure its straight. Then check your upper/lower control arms, and mounts. Not sure how you'll be able to see if its bent if its not obvious, without removing and comparing the 2 or comparing to a known good one.
 
I had the truck over to a friends body shop and on the frame machine .He entered the factory spec's in the computer and the frame checked out perfect . I measured from the ball joint to the bushing on the lower and found the right lower was 1/2 inch shorted then the left .
