Unhappy Jaguar x-type 2.1 v6 2003 petrol steering problem feels like over-steer??

Help need again people, my x-type has developed a weird sensation, I feel like it has over-steer. Feels like the back wheels are gonna overtake me, needing to over correct ever movement.
Any idea's I'm at a loss, have checked bushes etc, some control arms have been replaced etc. Where should I be looking ? No leaks from the rack etc.

Worn/bad rear front lower control arms. Just remember to not do the final torque until car is sitting on the ground.

Default This is what I was looking for

I have this exact issue I am having. In fact, I had something like it once before, but it was the squeaking noise at low speed that led me to discover worn bushings in a rear lower control arm, which cured an over steer sensation when turning left(at the time turning right was solid). Back then i could feel the right rear wheel was not solid, and would clunk when I pulled on it when it was on the jacks. Now turning left is solid, but turning right is spooky. I haven't inspected it fully yet, but thought I would search these forums till I found someone with similar issues. I just wanted to thank Del Gaily, and Thermo for such definitive responses to OP's problem. You have instilled confidence going forward. I'll be sure to post my results as soon as I have it sorted.
