Ride seems very harsh after replacement of OEM control arms / bushes and tie rod ends on 2005 LR3 SE with polybushes?

I think that may be normal when replacing OEM bushings with polyurethane bushings. Chart from [suspension.com](http://suspension.com).

Thank you. The ride is horribly jiggly, lost its floating on air feel ☹

dont know if control arms are 1 piece or multi-link which i would expect on the rear but i have to ask what type of struts are in this thing? air struts? i have heard that rovers have suspension height issues when the struts fail but few mention loss of ride quality as an issue as a rig with wonky ride height seems more of an issue.  
as in: my strut feels good but the air bag blew so the level control is shot
