Right then, just to tie this thread up. Ive been out to the car with a torque wrench and Haynes book of bollix  and checked the tightness of everything which has been disturbed recently.
Nothing was loose by any means but most things weren't tightened up to the correct torque value. I tightened everything up to spec,put my tools away, had a rest due to sudden chest pains,  >:(........then went for a test drive on local bumpy backroads.
Result is that its now all perfect, and the front end is nice and stiff / solid, due to the plod spec springs & dampers.  :) :) :)
Well worth checking, even if it nearly did give me a heart attack.  ;D ;D

Just need to fork out to have the wheel alignment done - again - to finish the job off. Will be aligned to WIM spec this time, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it drives after that.  :)

Actually, I have one more question. If changing the rear doughnut bushes does that affect the rear wheel alignment ?
The reason I ask is, that I have a new pair to fit at some point over the summer. If it affects alignment, I will try and get them changed sooner rather than later, so I can get the alignment done asap.

Shouldn't make any difference, but if in doubt... ;)

As above .shouldnt make any difference providing the bushes were centred before and no one has tried to alter toe / thrust angle if 1 mounting was out/damaged/replaced singularly.both sides can be perfect in terms of thrust angle but still too far rear wards thou due to the large clearance in the captive nut and centre bolt/ bush bore.this does in my opinion put extra strain on the rear diff mounts. Or at least it did on my car.no one else has ever to my knowledge had issues .
