When you loosened/re-tightened the control arm nuts -- was the suspension at ride height or was the car jacked up? Those stock bushings are designed to twist with the movement of the suspension --- and so should only be torqued to spec with the car sitting at ride height. If you loosen/tighten them with the suspension at full droop (as when working on the strut replacement) you will put them in a heckuva bind. I think watching as someone turns the wheel is a reasonable idea.
