Thanks for that, was just going through the cheapie thread trying to see where to get it from.
Ahh, assumed it wasn't an eBay kit because it was shiny (have one for the rear calipers and Nothing but the tape on it is shiny )
I'll definitely hit you up for a loan as can't really justify buying that for just one or two uses.
Front lower control arm bushes when shot seemed to create understeer for me when turning hard (outside front wheel toes out as the bush gets squashed). It was a weird feeling, almost like you were winding off a bit of lock mid corner.
Maybe it's the rear beam bushes? Shot ones would result in toe out on the outside rear wheel making the car want to rotate. Might be related to the bump rattle too. Doing those got rid of a weird mid corner instability on mine, a bit like winding in more lock.
Then again, you mentioned braking hard in a turn, which depending on how you do it might be the problem....

Yeah, front control arm bushes look fine to me when up on a hoist but I don't think i trust them, previous owner claims to have replaced them but I get a knock from the front end every time i reverse down the driveway.
I don't know how to check the rear ones properly but good chance they might need to be replaced as it does feel unstable/unpredictable.
And hard braking hard while changing direction tends to rotate if I decide to stay on them, but to me that's expected l. Was just implying that under hard braking it feels alright.
