Sorry, I don't have any advice, but the retorquing the bushing bolts sounds like a good idea. I have a funny story, though.

I rebuilt the rear suspension on my 245, with lowering springs and all, and then I started getting this funny "sproing" noise sometimes. It seemed to happen when I would change directions, like going into reverse, and then going into 1st. It didn't happen all the time. I thought, "oh no, I'm going to have to go under the car and do something over again." And then I noticed that the antenna mast was at the right height to hit the tire from a bicycle hanging from the garage ceiling! There's the sproing!
