If we suggest that no Wim required if replacing forrard bush with poly and aft undisturbed ergo does that not suggest that if aft bush is disturbed then alignment is then needed?

Indeed it does hence my first...

But Chris knew that before he swapped the bushes out

I voted no, on the basis that that it's been done 3 months ago, so presumably was correct then. You've replaced an OK bush with a newer OK bush. Importantly, the wishbones are the same, and the bushes were in good condition when it was WIM'ed. These are the factors that will put it out, IME, assuming it hasn't impacted a curb, in which case we'd be crying over a knackered alloy instead of a niggle.

I stand by my vote then if something feels amiss, you'll tolerate it for a bit, eventually getting it sorted and potentially needing tyres sooner as a direct result of living with it

Might as well leave nowt to chance and get it checked over

Must admit, I fully intended set up before doing the work.

But during, I had my doubts. Non failed bush aside, the wishbone position was my concern when its bolted up again, which is actually quite accurately positioned.

The front poly bush is a very tight fit and dictates where the rear bush bolt position in its elongated hole....;

Front bush / bolts
for and aft important but fits tightly. Vertically I'd say least important.

Rear bush
For and aft set by front bush as said. Inboard out board, bolt heald tightly.

So the only concern is the play of the bolt in the bush holes.

1.5mm at worst?

Thing is the bush metal spacers have left a dent in the metal anyway, and I'm pretty sure they have centred themselves back in the same position.

So from the re fitting point of view I'm inclined to say no set up.

Yet its still not quite right.

[chrisgixer]

I should add, it's improved. Just needs another 10% from somewhere.

What was the reason for changing them?
