Sorted
I went back to TopMarks during the week. The guy there made one small adjustment to one front wheel, which only took a few mins. Happy to say that the Disco is now tracking dead straight and driving very well .
The AF front lower control arms have definitely tightened things up a little. I’m a little more aware of grooves in the road etc. now, but this is as expected as my OEM bushings were worn and had lots of play in them. Another thing I’ve noticed is that I think the car seems to feel more planted going round corners at speed too.
Once again, thanks to everyone for the input and help getting this job done . I re-checked the original quote I got from a Land Rover dealer to do these control arms, and it was £1,800 . My local indy garage wanted a bit less, but it’s safe to say that doing it DIY has saved me A LOT of money .

Hiya
Great it’s now all done and indeed also thumbs up for top marks , also were very helpful when I had mine done
Ur right there ref saving money , took me days to finally get my rear upper wishbones changed and dread to think what the bill would have been, alas done a lot quicker with a garage having more tools at there disposal , ie oxy acetylene , but also saved around £1400 going by other quotes doing them myself
Feels like a new motor , be it the rears but biggest difference was having the alignment all done
