Did you let the suspension settle on the ground before you finally tightened the suppension bolts? For example: if you had the vehicle on jack stands you would have to lower the vehicle to the ground before you tighten the LCA bolt. Otherwise if you tighten it while in the air, the bushing would get twisted once the suspension experiences the weight of the vehicle.
