Shifting Diff

I have a problem, well what seems to look like a problem, when i say drive the passenger front up only up a bank or something, meaning the rear left compresses, i find that the rear diff shifts to the left, and you can see the top control arms on a 30degree maybe more angle sideways. The lower control arms end up binding againts the chassis too. When i flex it the other way it still does it but not as bad but still bad enough. :?

This has only started when i have put longer lower arms in with orbital eyes, but now i have taken the orbital eyes out and put nissan bushes in and still does the same. Also i have found that when i used to flex it up with the original lower arms the tyres used to hit the tray, now they don't. Because the diff shift sideways the tyres hit the chassis limiting my flex even with the 37's they don't even hit the tray. :?

For people who don't know what a drive it is a gu ute.

Can anybody help us out with this problem?

Try putting the standard rear arms back in to see if the problem stops then you will know its in the arms
