zilla_8 fitted a WALK, so he replaced those bushes for the Whiteline's instead. :wink:
I'd check the other bits as suggested before. :happy2:

Hi, I have got to the bottom of this issue affecting the stability of my suspension setup.
It seems it was nothing to do with the bushes or tracking rods.
Apparently the place where I had my walk and springs installed, forgot to tighten the front nut on the passenger side suspension arm. I was a bit concerned that they overlooked this loose nut, as they were the ones who installed the springs and walk kit, what also got me was I got them to look underneath my car after my first wheel alignment session, and they were adamant it was the wheel alignment to blame for my issues. I am not going to disclose their name, in case I get kicked off this forum, but I am going to give them a gist soon and a stern word or two!
After going backwards and forwards to get the wheel alignment looked at for the 3rd time, they spotted the loose nut on the front of the suspension arm.
After they tightened the loose nut, my car was handling brilliantly and it had the reassuring stability that was there before the mods, especially at driving on the dual carriageway.
Just wanted to express my thanks and gratitude to the guys at the Nottingham alignment services for sorting out my issues and for potentially averting any disaster that may have arose from this issue.
They were very professional, polite, informative and very patient. I definitely be going back to see them to give them my business.
Thanks to everyone who help in with help and advice regarding this issue.

I got a ed30 with 60k on clock and fitted eibach and works like a treat much stiffer much better to drive all round so i can't complain about eibach
