You probably disconnected the sway bar end links to fit the new buhses. Did you re-attach them as they were originally?

Having said that the distance between the upper A arm and the sway bar should not change when turning of the steering. The upper and lower arms should only move up and down (with a little bit of give in the bushes). Check that the tyres are not rubbing against the inner guards.

Have you had a wheel alignment since fitting the bushes?

If they are the stock end links - you need to change them to adjustables - or stick them in a vice and bend them a little - it makes them shorter!

If you think about it, you have shortened the distance between the arm and the bar but not shortened the distance betwenn the bar and the bar mount - hence it hits.

didn't someone else have that problem about 12 mths ago?

can't recall what the prob was
