Default Front end clunk - now pulling left

I have an original Mustang II front end in my car. The UCA and strut rod bushings were replaced about a year ago with Energy Suspension black (graphite impregnated) urethane bushings and I'm running QA1 coilovers. I had a wheel alignment about 2 months ago and have logged about 500 miles since then.

A couple of days ago I was backing out of my driveway and was rolling a bit quicker than usual when I hit the brakes firmly with the wheels turned to the left. There was a somewhat disconcerting clunk from the right / passenger front suspension and, since then, there is a noticeable increase in negative camber on the right / passenger front wheel and the car pulls to the left.

It seems the most logical explanation is that the UCA mount must have moved - probably inward at the front of the UCA. It's booked into the same alignment shop that last worked on it, but I'd appreciate some expert opinions before heading there next week.

Thoughts?
