Only think I can think of immediately is the rear track-rod settings. This assuming everything has been done correctly when replacing the lower rear wishbones. If the track rods were previously altered to correct worn bushes, they will not be right for new ones.

Default Crabbing. Jumping

4 wheel alignment.
Only solution.
Agree with Mitchell.
Changed rear wheel dimensions with new bushings.
Need a good machine to fix it.
