Thanks all.

I think an XR4x4 might have been used for a lot of the bits on my car as a few things I have replaced such as rear hubs and all the brakes have been XR4x4.

I believe the adjustable TCA's locate in a different place and being that they are totally adjustable then they will need the bump steer checking.

I expect that now I have the billet steering arms and the new spherical track rod ends the difference was being exacerbated. I noticed that the MK ball joints are longer than the ford ones. I think that some of my problems may have been Cos 4x4 steering rack used with XR hubs perhaps and the TCA's not liking the XR hubs.

I am having chassis consultant who was referred by Stuart Day (Fulla) to come over and go through the car completely for the geo so we will check the bump steer / ackerman and cornerweights etc...but he wants me to get the 6 degree beam in there first and get the ride height to where I want it and then try some softer springs before he does the setup.

He was going to come before but he said he would be costing me a lot of money for him to do the tracking and faff around which would be a waste so I need to sort those things first.

Appreciate all your help and may well order some of the shorter ones.

I have brought the camber down from the 3 neg that we got stuck at as ran out of room on the tracking and it is now close to 1.5 neg (just waiting for my camber / castor gauge to arrive - ordered a laser tracking gauge too)

The tracking is now back to pretty much neutral so need to add in 2 degrees but already the car drives so much better. I ran it round a big (private obviously) roundabout where the drifters meet at night and it felt very good, I could steer it on the throttle and brakes and the break-away felt smooth. The front end is very direct.

I still need to fiddle with the bladed ARB but will need to fit the extensions that MK is making me first.
