It looks like your springs are not in correctly. Your front end looks way to high.

:iagree: The ends of the springs need to be seated in the lower control arms. :yesnod:

:iagree: and losen the bolts on your a-arms where the bushings are. Roll the car back about 10 ft or so and let the front end settle. Than go back and tighten those bolts. Do both sides, upper and lower.
