    UPDATE

    Update:

    The car was in for inspection at the dealer (Barbagallo) yesterday for the vibration / pulling issue I've had since buying the car that I thought replacing bushes would fix. They find that nothing's bent, all bushes look good, bolts are torqued to spec, brakes look good, but wheel alignment (toe) bad. Very frustrating as it should have been right after the FLCA bushes were replaced and alignment done by Roadbend.

    I told them I think there's more to it than wheel alignment, but Barbagallo were adamant last night that alignment was the issue that they have corrected and assured me the tech took it for a test and all was well.

    Lo and behold, driving on the freeway the following morning I've still got vibration, albeit slightly improved. As well as feeling it I can see steering wheel and passenger seat shaking and car still has a light pull left.
    Back to the dealer I go...

    Now will be a challenge, once tyres have experienced poor alignment and wear it can take a while (or never) before they come back to even wear and it settles down.

    Hopefully final update:

    Barbagallo took the car yesterday. Tested with wheels from another vehicle and said the vibration and pull went away. Hopefully this means it's mild tyre damage from the misalignment, so I can just swap fronts to the rear and wear them out until I upgrade to 275/55r20's

    Thanks again all for help & sugestions.
