What is the make of the tyres on the front and are the front and rear the same size?

I am sure you weren’t but was your Jimny in 4WD?

Are the rear wheels fitted square to the hubs?

Same size tyres buy not the same make , will have to look what they are , but they are road only type tyre . No wasn't in 4 wheel drive .
Going to take the wheels off and check them , iwas wondering wether new tyres might have altered the tracking .. Also the rear panhard rod was bent when I bought it , I have replaced both panhards .

I need to say when the vehicle wobbles its not through the wheels / steering wheel , it's the whole vehicle

If it is the whole body shaking, not the steering wheel, I'd look at the back axle.

A bent rear panhard rod is a red flag, something else got bent/distorted/broken/loose when the axle had a big enough bang to bend the rod..

If it was all the time I'd suggest a bent wheel or halfshaft, but as it is fine until a bump sets it off I'd look at all the bushes and the mountings.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
