Oh, urethane bushes normally have loose steel tubes in them so sit level automatically unlike rubber which can have problems if things are tightened up while the suspension is still jacked up. Did you replace the rear shocks too?

Thanks for the info, if its a higher possibility to be the shoe adjustment itself then fair enough, just hoping it wasn't the suspension since i threw new ones in not long ago when changing all the shot bushings
I still very much doubt a brake issue, more likely suspension issue.

I see, and nope - only replaced front shocks as back were previously fine. How can i tell other than a basic bounce test ?

VZ rear shocks are simple units so pull them out and feel how soft they are.
