Ah right :y  Can't see the advantage in the wider rears but, :y all the same.   
I'm replacing my wishbone and anti-roll bar bushes with Poly-bushes tomorrow. Well , if they arrive. Despatched today but not sure what service. 
Car is pulling to right when breaking and turning in sharply at certain points on a roundabout.  Checked the brakes on the MOT rollers and they're spot on. Checked the wishbone bushes and the nearside front is shot.

then took it up the road to a mates garage for 4 new tyres and a full wheel alingment

car now drives like a new 1 again

can't beleave how bad the rear tyes was that came off and the bottom arm on the passenger side was well and truly buggered

gonna get it book in for the mot
then get it to stoke for the exhaust to be fitted on friday :y
How much does your mate charge nick for tracking,as i need mine doing?. :y
starts from £20
he loved doing mine as its all new so he could just turn the adjuster with his fingers instead of having top heat it up :y
Just need the 2 front done really mate.Where is he situated nick,might have to pop down there. :y

No worries. They're here, so I'm gonna fit them later this afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes and if there's a difference in the feel etc.
