What I am going to do as it is on the ramp at the moment as I am doing the rear subframe bushes is slacken everything off put it back in tight tolerance and redo everything after the new subframe bushes are in and see where we go |

If it was 'drifting' in & out of tolerance, it points to another component with wear (bushes or hub ball joints). If it was the toe control arm that was too long, then it would be out of tolerance but repeatedly so. The measuring surface also needs to have a floating rear wheel plate to prevent side loading on the tyre sidewall causing issues. Check that the eccentric washers have not been left too loose and jumped over or worn away at the location lugs on the subframe.

Hi David genuine parts were used and thanks for the info Phoenix its interesting it was both sides and all the bushes have been replaced about 4 weeks ago I did the upper and lower arms , hub bushes, wheel bearing all new brakes and new airbags and shocks but interesting about the eccentric washers on the subframe will check that |
