Any Freelander 2 owners in East Yorks

Had both front lower arms changed a couple of months back by a reputable indy and my Freelander does not feel right to me, it seems twitchy on the steering, it had 4 wheel alignment done on fitting the new arms. Had it back to them yesterday for checking and 4 wheel alignment check they said it was just because they are new parts and tighter now, but I am not happy with it, what I would like is a member on here who lives in East Yorks to have a drive of it and see what they think.

England 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

Hi do you know what manufacturer of control arms the Indy fitted? I'm not trying to scaremonger but I fitted some cheap ones to mine and it did a whole host of problems to mine. I had to take it to an Indy to sort it out and one of the guys there said that the control arms were nothing like the genuine ones.

I know people have put aftermarket control arms on their cars without problems though.

Meyle are normally OE, so should be identical to the originals.
Did you replace the rear bushes at the same time?
Was the 4 wheel alignment carried out correctly? 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. My daily driver.

Do you mean rear bushes on front arms? if so yes they fitted complete arms, as far as I know the alignment is spot on like I say they where done by a well known reputable indy and been checked twice now, it feels funny, on uneven road surface its all over the road feels like bushes are too soft or moving.

Most places will do a free alignment check, If it were mine that's what I would do
