It was a good job I wasn't on a corner with a brick wall on the exit...

Are there any other symptoms of worn bushes, or dampers, when not near the limit? Like noise over bumps?

Someone also suggested swapping the tyres around, maybe put the new Nachoking front-left and see what happens, to eliminate the possibility of this being the cause.

this is agood cheap way of checking

My car has always felt very loose at the back - what is the test for doughnut bushes?

It seems that between putting new front wishbones and doing enough straight-line miles to scrub the new rear tyre in, the problem has gone as far as I can tell. I want to get the tracking done properly to be sure, any recommended places? The front left tyre looks a bit wearier than the others, but I'm sure that's down to hanging it out on roundabouts.

Wheels in motion give the best one to one service but Micheldever tyres are nearest to you, they have become too big a company to give a consistent level of service, ie it depends which operator you get.

I had this a while back, if there was any hint of damp the back end would step out on roundabouts. It felt the same as hitting a diesel spill the back end would suddenly go.

Turned out to be geometry. Took it to WIM who found that the wheels were all pointing in different directions and (this is the important bit) the thrust angle was way off. Tony's comment - do you find when you put the power on going round corners the back end breaks away..... um... yep !
