Thanks David - I thought alignment would only be needed after changing tierods/ends, which I had done before the lower control arms were flagged on the MOT. Will look into this further.
I read another thread on here about inflating tyre pressures to up to 40PSI also helped (well over the recommended 32PSI for 18" Avus) - this could suggest a wheel balance problem, although again, balancing was done when the tyres where changed before the suspension work was done.
Notorious - the term OEM is sometimes miscontrued with 'Genuine' - i'm assuming you mean Genuine, as both Lemforder and TRW are considered OEM, where OEM are companies that make parts for car manufacturers.
