Front end noise - is it the new bushes? 120-130 1968

I replaced all the front bushes with softish SuperePro poly bushes (not hard racing ones). The right front makes no noise, but the left one groans when you bounce it (or drive it). I did give them a slathering of rubber grease when I installed them.

I also replaced the springs and shocks (Konis) at the same time, so it is just possible it is one of those.

Can you overtighten the bushes to make them groan? Or leave them too loose?

I'll recheck all the torque settings at the weekend, and also remove the shock to eliminate that.

Any other suggestions?
