Destroyed wishbone bushes....

[Richard Beels]

Sounds like the control arms were torques with the car NOT on the
ground.  You need to just bolt it back together for fit while in the air
and then lower the car, allow the suspension to settle and _then_ torque
the control arms so the bushings are "gripped" in their final, "driving"
orientation....
