Wishbones supplied by autovaux, and looked exactly the same as the ones i took off.

I don't think there is any damage to the sub frame, it would have to have occurred whilst i was doing the swap, because there was no scraping before.

Do you think that the old wishbones could have been tightened in the wrong position causing the suspension to ride high?  Still wouldn't explain why its too low now tho i suppose.
if tyre is rubbing on mudflap, surely the wheel is now too far back?

I don't suppose it's possible to fit them on the wrong sides and / or upside down?

Never had a look at one. Just a thought....

I too had the mudflaps catching on the wheels on full lock, a while ago, if they're genuine VX flaps, I found that the template to cut for front arches was inaccurate, they needed cutting further, I now have no catching with mine and less people look at me as I drive past, it made such a row when turning into junctions, pedestrians used to cac it..

VX flaps come with instructions to cut them in a particular way, they are universal to VX's and depending on the car and front or rear, you have to remove all the A panels then the B panels etc
