Check the panhard rod bolts. They need to be stupid tight.... both sides. it's probably the bolt on the chassis side not the axle side, but check both. Don't be shy with tightening them.

Thanks Anthony,
I got a big spanner onto the chassis side bolt and managed to tighten it quite a lot from where it was... I clearly didn't tighten it enough when I replaced the Panhard Rod bushes...
Has eliminated the problem! Feels like a new car...
Awesome forum to be a part of!

I got mine from Terrain Tamer - easier to fit than OEM.
