Crushed control arm bracket.

the axel i got has 3.55's and let me know what you want

I read it wrong the first time. I thought it was the lower control arm. The bracket is flimsy on all of these D30 axles and you probably need the same upgrade that Paul did for Doug on his XJ. You could get the lower controls arms off of the XJ and cut the ends off. You could weld one inside the other to strengthen it. I've seen guys do that in the past when they wanted the extra strength, but weren't worried about extended them at all.

it really is an easy upgrade, just make sure your control arm isn't bent so you can weld the bracket on straight lol.
