Ah right :y Can't see the advantage in the wider rears but, :y all the same.
I'm replacing my wishbone and anti-roll bar bushes with Poly-bushes tomorrow. Well , if they arrive. Despatched today but not sure what service.
Car is pulling to right when breaking and turning in sharply at certain points on a roundabout. Checked the brakes on the MOT rollers and they're spot on. Checked the wishbone bushes and the nearside front is shot.

No worries. They're here, so I'm gonna fit them later this afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes and if there's a difference in the feel etc.
