Default Rear suspension components overhaul?

Possibly a coincidence, but since having all of my front arms replaced my car feels a little twitchy and less sure footed.

At first I thought I was imagining it but the wife also thinks something is off as well.

If a take a right handed and the near side rear is loaded up it sort of feels like it wants to break away and oversteer. It just went straight through an MOT without issue and drives fine in a straight line but the minute the weight shifts around it feels very odd at times.

Any ideas what could cause this whilst under load? I'm taking it for a hunter 4 wheel alignment check tomorrow to hopefully rule this out.

Maybe something is bent? or the shocks are gone?
