seems both sides,
have only replaced springs,
all polys were greased up apart from on anti roll bar,maybe theyve dried out,
hard to pin point on my own but sounds like about coming from in the wheel arch,
cheers colin

i wonder if the op has tightened everything while the car was still up in the air?
loosen the bolts with the car in teh air on the tca inner and outer, just a turn or so
hen drop it on the dck and tighten back up again
should hmake a difference as they will be in the normal road state with weigth on them when they get locked into palce

The grease supplied is only to aid installation, one of the marvellous properties of poly is it is self lubricating.
A good point about the weight needing to be on the car when tightening, but you'd have stiff jerky steering if this was the case.
Spray the bushes with wd40 one at a time and drive, till you find the one that stops the noise.
