if he just did the bolts up wheels hanging then they will have failed by now.

they should be tightened with suspension loaded to something like 120nm then angle tighten 30degrees then 45degrees. Something like that anyway, its covered in hynes iirc.

just to add, you really need to have a chat with your mech and see how he tightened them up... if done correctly they should be fine for 3 or 4years min. what bushes did you have fitted, can you remember?

The bushes are GM ones as you can't get patterned ones. I've had the main dealer and an independent mechanic inspect the bushes and wishbones. They've both said that they are ok. Plus I remember when the bush ahd previously failed you can see the shiny bit.

So by the sounds of it might be worth investigating the doghnut bushes first and then maybe back to the wishbones. But the car is definately wandering across the road with the steering not moving.
