Are there any other people having issues with rear whiteline swaybars moving around 50mm sideways either way in the locating bushes. The bar is moving so far the top swaybar ball joint is hitting the rear coil spring both sides on left and right hand corners. The front bar is supplied with clamps to stop this but the rear is not ... any thoughts on this issue would be very helpful.

My standard SE one would slide side ways as well.
Never far enough to hit the springs though.
I would only take a guess that Poly bushings with grease is slipperier than normal rubber bushings allowing the bar to move more laterally.

This may sound like it may not work but is worth a try.
Try using cable ties done up tight around the bar next to the bushings.
The same idea stopped my rear muffler sliding around on Poly hangers.
It will only cost you 4 cables ties.

Very common.
Hose clamps work well too..

A couple of hose clamps each side stopped mine from moving, success for $6!

Fixes it every time

Buy clamps, fit them.
