hi and welcome

you should always have the car at its normal driving level when finally tightening wishbone bush's,

so have you fitted new spheres and what brand and where were they purchased

as it is usually flat spheres that cause hard suspension,

although there has recently been an exception to this on one of Andy's (mothman) fleet

were he fitted new spheres then could not get the suspension back down, turned out to be ( after lots of discussion's ) to be a seized front strut ( very un/common )

also is the car riding at its correct height when set in the normal position ( wide white bar at height lever )
