I have replaced Panhard rod , all b-joints including rear a-arm , trailing arm bushes , and have the Radius arm bushes ( both axle to arm and arm to chassis ) sitting in a box. The axle to arm bits are the castor correcting style. I have not replaced the bushes on the a-arm. All new shocks and springs and tires are good.

Is it the radius arm bushes that cause this ?

That's classic rear radius arm to axle bush failure.  With the radius arms (or more correctly lower trailing link) being quite close geometrically to the upper A arm, any braking load on the back axle (via the wheel) is magnified many times in the bushes.

It will be the LHS radius arm bush, that's your driver's side I reckon.
