Default Best 2wd suspension set up ?

I've just converted my 4x4 to 2wd and having a few issue with it. It has all new polly bushes " except the rear arm bushes " 3dr front hubs and roll bar, Koni adjustables with Ahmed springs front and rear but feels very unstable at higher speeds .. Almost like its " swaying " .
Any ideas on what this could be down to ?? Any answers much appreciated

3dr fnt hubs, that's why ford replaced them if asked under warranty for the 2wd saff ones, different geo that made the car feel twitchy at speed and tram line but loved the corners....

Thanks for your answer mate .
It seems like it's at the rear of the car tbh .. but I've notice at the front just now is the new lower arm bushes seem to have a lot of play back and forward ! So just wondering if it would be worth going for compression struts now or just changing lower arm bushes.

All poly bushes at the front but keep rear swing arm ones as they are rose joints and can't be beaten. How's the diff hanger as that's part of the rear suspension geometry , Msd do a nice poly mount.
