Ok, so I checked my top and bottom joints properly yesterday and they're actually in perfect condition, no wear at all. However, all four wishbone bolts were loose, tightening them seemed to make the steering feel even more precise. I think the odd feeling I wrongly put down to a worn joint was actually the loose bolts allowing a little wishbone deflection when loaded up with steering input at parking speeds, anyway its all sorted now and an easy fix.
Talking of steering, while it's true to say there is less self centering effect with the Mulfab wishbone conversion, it's not like there's no self centering at all, it's just less than most road cars. It was noticeable on my first drive of Monty, but it literally took me a few hundred yards of driving to get used to it. I'd liken it to learning the clutch on any car you're driving for the first time, indeed after a week of driving the car I fell in love with the steering, I guess this is because I'm interacting with the steering more, so it creates a more connected feeling with the car.
