I would make sure that these were fitted correctly, some parts have to be finally tightened with the wheels on the ground with full car weight on them.

Very true. This applies to tension struts and the other control arms.

Booked in tomorrow for replacement so fingers crossed. Will make sure they're aware to tighten them under load.
Thanks again everyone

Re: Another steering wobble (sorry)
At last, no steering wobble at all
Control arm/wishbone replaced today and everything is calm again. Had a look at the knackered one and the rubber bush had stretched itself almost oval, it was well goosed!!
Guess the Pagid discs & pads aren't that crap after all
Thanks for all the help and advice guys - much appreciated.

Re: Another steering wobble (sorry)
Glad to hear it. And even more glad that you didn't throw those brakes out!
