Thanks mate, shame when i got it tracked they did it wrong and it decided it want to head for the other side of the road Neutral

Proper blokes they are, they go through the car perfectly but if you have a decat (cough cough) they will let it through Very Happy

Does this look right to you, bearing in mind its on the jack?
IMO it should be further up into the hub (I know the wishbone is tapered so the bolt locates it)??

it doesnt look that bad but grab it and try to move it you shouldnt have to much play or any at all really, try using a bar to wedge in there to test it for movement. its the other two that makes it worse, put wheel on full lock to the right (when sat in car) from outside or he car look through behing the wheel and you can see the rear bush if it looks twisted its shot it should look straight

(oh by the way in your pic your looking at the bottom ball joint.)

Looks right to me, I thought is was strange on my 180 but that is just how it sits.

It is right, the other 2 bushes had separated from the metal though!

Check for play in the rear axle it could be the trailing arms. Jack it up and yank the wheels back and forth see if they go in or out. If you can not find play elsewhere just do the wishbones again.

think im experiencing the same thing on my 206 but it steers right when i change gear

ive had passenger side wishbone changed to ebay aftermarket ones before MOT and was told to change driver wishbone after MOT so changed to aftermarkets one.

so if car is steering right, which wishbone needs attention?

also when im doing full lock right the car feels very strange, must be the ball joints yeh?
