I was driving to work this morning and breaking down from around 40 to turn right, when i applied the brakes there seemed to be movement from the rear of the car pushing me to the right! i have noticed this before but never so bad!  I know the car was used for heavy towing by the previous owner, so could the rear subframe bushes be causing this?   

;D just noticed what title i gave the thread!!

The Vauxhall World Parts are pretty decent and fitted perfectly.
