When you say that you changed the 'dog leg', do you mean this:

If so, was it a new or used item?

There is always a possibly I suppose that the N/S top gearbox mount has come loose but the main culprit is usually always the lower mount/tie in the link above.
If the O/S hydramount is gone, this will also allow movement of course.

Yes that is part i changed brand new although when i removed old part there was no damage to it
All the movement i have seems to be on gearbox side cheers

I would check the gearbox mount for wear (or maybe the mounting bolts have worked loose).

It bolts to the end of the gearbox & mounts to the N/S inner wing section.

Threads into the gearbox can strip out where the 4 bolts from the mount go into the top of the box. I had this on my car, probably due to over-enthusiastic use of a windy gun, or the box not being supported properly when the bolts are tightened. I had to helicoil them to fix it.
