The polys should have much less movement than the original rubber bush, who did your geo setup afterwards ?

As Weds says, Poly should be stiffer than original rubber. How was the handling before? Have you checked camber/castor/tracking? Worth running string along to check toe. It does sound like castor or tracking to me. Are the tyres wearing OK?

slight tramlining so might get tracking checked first

Did you have the CAMBER checked ??? ie .. FULL suspension alignement not just fancy tracking ??? Wishbones affect camber more than anything.

Are the wb bolts tightened correctly?
Has the car been set up correctly for full geo?
Are the tyres showing ware on the inside edge, from previous set up?
