you must tighten the suspension bolts while the car is on the ground , not in the air. thats your problem. loosen bolts and retighten on the ground.

because if its tightened in the air it will preload the bushings with the susp hanging and not in its normal stance. this has been covered a million times.

When you say to tighten the "suspension bolts" while the car is on the ground, specifically which bolts are you referring to? I just got new tokico shocks/tein springs put on my 93 LX and I know the shop did everything with the car in the air.

any control arm bolts and shock bolts. basically if the bolt goes through a rubber bushing it has to be tightened in its resting position.

Did you also check if the ground your car sits on is level? Most garages and driveways are always slanted in some way.
