Am wondering ............. (as only one wishbone was latterly changed):
The (newer) lower ball-joint may be 'tighter' than it's (older) counterpart?

The geometry has been checked and adjusted since then.

been looking on other web pages and only things keep poping up is over weight in boot area and cliping curbs, and rear sliding round courners. but then there are loads of other people saying that they use alot of tyers on rear, as the inner walls wear out  and they had it checked and is in line so i dont know.
ask Kevin wood he was one replying to some one on one form.

Main concern is usually uneven front bush performance on the brakes. Although if the bushes have failed enough, ccontrol of the wheel position could be fine on the ramp during set up and then toe out while driving.... "Could"
 Although the op dousnt mention any oddness while braking.  ...?

It brakes fine, infact it drives lovely all round apart from a slight driftt to the left, lol

Dunno then. Can't tell from here anyway. Maybe swap the wheels around, see if that makes any odds. -1.40 is a bit aggressive to be fair and may incur some edge wear that affects things. Really need to be wanging the car around a lot to justify -1.40. Up to you though, obviously.

Its sorted at last, no more drift to the left!

As i had two brand new tyres of the same make and tread pattern fitted at to the front at the same time i assumed it wasnt them BUT it bloody was. today i noticed as soon as you move forward even by one MPH the steering wheel would turn to the left so it has to be rolling resistance, so after swapping front and rear tyres it now drives absolutely bloody perfectly.
