My experience is that the Omega is extremely sensitive to the toe in. Parallel or toeing out (all in tolerance) feels horrible. Really unstable.
The max allowed toe in feels really solid.

Your figures look good though.

So my money would be on tired wishbone bushes - they work hard on the Omega. On the move the toe out would increase.

Two new GM wishbones fitted about 2 & half years back.

That sounds like quite a long time on the basis of what others have mentioned. Could well be past their best. What sort of mileage in that time?

Mmm? Not really sure. I'd have to look at MOT's , but I can't see it being any more than about 25000 miles although I still managed over 6000 miles last year & it's not used everyday.  :-?
