Do a search on here for "crush tubes" it's been covered several times . Your problem is probably the wishbones not moving due to the crush tubes being too short, when the pivot bolt is tightened the wishbone is being clamped inside the wishbone bracket. Easy to check , jack the car up, disconnect the damper and try lifting the suspension .Solution is to 1 get longer crush tubes or 2 skim the outer end of the bushes. Does the suspension squeek? thats a dead give away
