The tracking was done with the proper bolt in.

Still a waste of time and money Martin, because once you change the wishbones then you have to do the job properly mate (and "tracking" isn't even 20% of the battle).
In fact, changing the wishbones doesn't affect the tracking as such...your biggest concern at a wishbone change should be camber angle.

Agreed, did you do the wishbones yourself? I was in lazy mode and let my MOT garage do a track rod end. They totally stuffed it up, so much so they adjusted the caster value 

Popped it down to WIM and all was well again

Bones, shocks, droplinks, the whole shooting gallery.

Went "old school" on the initial setup after we put it together on the drive, took it to WIM to have the job done properly, they put it on the ramp, connected it up, and said (and I quote) "I couldn't get that any closer if I tried"

String, wood, ruler, protractor.......you'll never take the basics away no matter what

Also did it myself, wishbones,drop links and steering arms.

I only had the tracking done as I knew one of the steering arms was knackered and the garage had set the tracking with the steeing wheel off centre to get the wheels in line when I changed the shocks.

i wil be going to WIM in the not to distant future.
