Front bouncy after installing rear upper control arm poly bushes?

I installed some poly bushes on my rear upper control arms to replace the worn out bushes. Since then the car feels great on the back but the front is really bouncing around. When corning fast the steering wheel is going crazy and sometimes just driving down a half decent road in a straight line the steering goes nuts when hitting a slight imperfection. Would this be due to the poly bushes having zero flex on the back and making the front feel sloppy because it still has OEM bushes?

Just an update. Turns out it was the front struts that let go. They were fine before the car was put on a lift. The suspension hanging down must of leaked the gas out as there were about 3" of movement when grabbing hold of the wheel and pushing up. Just to clarify there were no visible signs of a leak anywhere.

 

Ive now installed some BC Racing coilovers and what a difference! The car feels fantastic! :)
