The wheel geometry at the back is adjustable on the wedges. Also check the big bush as these are a common failure point. If nothing is bent and the bush is ok then get the geometry reset.

its the bubble shape 400. i have had a look at the back end and had the whole thing checked and it all come back fine but i was told you cant adjust the castor on them so i think it might be the trailing arm that has gone but not sure

I think the bubble 400 has the same rear suspension setup as the wedge 200 so it is adjustable in some aspects, however I'm not sure if the castor is or isn't. If it isn't then it sounds like something is bent somewhere. Time to get the tape measure out or just get the whole setup from a scrap car and fit that.
