If you take both leading arms off and place one on top of the other, all 3 bolt holes should line up. Approach the dealer who supplied the bushes for proper orientation.

I had this on our Defender from new, back in 2006.
lt went back to the dealer a few times but they could find nothing wrong.
Eventually l fitted an RTC steering damper and after a slight adjustment the fault was completely cured.
Some would say the fault was masked rather than cured
But everything was checked and there was nothing wrong.
We did over 40,000 miles with the RTC steering damper fitted and it was perfect.
l don't know if you can get one for the Gen 4 Jimny, l've asked the question on this forum.

They did but for any reason the car still pull and when I let go the steering wheel it goes slightly to the left. I'm taking the car back on Monday to check the bushes.
Having just fitted the OME offset bushes today, unless they have got the bushes in upside down (ie the hole at the bottom on the front bush rather than at the top and at the top on the rear bush rather than at the bottom) then there is no way they can be in the wrong position unless the rear bush has been changed for an adjustable one as well.
The way the new bushes are held by the three bolts being in a triangle means they have to be in the right place, the rear bush being fixed means the front bushes can’t rotate as there is no allowance for movement, the rear bush keeps the triangle stable.
