Update, changed the subframe the old one was bent. Took it to get aligned again today and still the same, way too much neg camber? So, I'm now thinking either the replacement hub or wishbone is a bent one. Could anyone tell me from the hub pic above which one looks right. I'm particularly interested in the part that goes to the upper wishbone as I've seen these cause the camber issue when not straight. Even better if someone has a straight one they could take a few pics of for me to compare. If anyone has a lower wishbone that they know is straight could you do me some quick measurements also.

Really fed up of it all now and just want it sorted

too much neg camber would mean the bottom is much much longer than the top. If it was your bottom wishbone, you'd have positive camber. Has to be your upper wishbone.

Makes sense. I changed the upper wishbone but still have the old one to compare. I'm thinking more and more toward the replacement hub upper mounting been bent

I think you bought the wishbones from me? If you did they definitely weren't bent as I measured them first to make sure before advertising them

Looks like the hub on the right is bent to me...

Make sure you don't put 06+ items on an pre 06 car and the other way round

Yes, I got the lower wishbone from you.

I thought it was only the upper wishbones that were different?

Yeah that's right, I'm just lazy to explain, since you already know then you're ok, but don't forget the subframe is different too

Are all model year hubs the same? I know one hub in the photo is bent and they're sat at different angles to the camera, but they don't quite look identical in places. It's difficult to tell though.

Not sure. The camera angle isn't great to be honest but there's clearly differences between them. Problem is I don't know what angles the different attachments should be at. The replacement hub came from integrastella who has a decent reputation from what I've seen.
