I'm not much help mate as my car's RTABs were done before i purchased. Is it from a dealer? Presumably you could take it back under warranty?

Its probably the Rear Trailing Arm Bushes. I had mine done a few months back and it feels much better since. Same kind of feeling before hand, axle isn't well connected to the car feeling.

its worth adding the Simpson bush limiting kit when your doing the bushes its about £70 but makes a big difference

Oh aye, will second that. I've got the Turner Motorsport Kit fitted on mine, firms up the back end without compromising the ride quality too much.
