   the bolts on the arb plates have sheared, could this be the cause of my wobbly bouncy rear end?
   rep waiting, cheers

   not really the bouncy bit.
   
   All those bolts to is hold the rear arb in place, so once ones missing the rear arb will be doing nothing.
   
   Will give you a bit of body roll, but you wont really notice it driving on the roads only when pushing it through the corners.
   
   If your cars bouncing about with normal driving in a straight line over bumps then your shock absobers are fucked.
   
   Whats the camber of your rear wheels like?

   If you have a wobble it could be that you may have a bulge in the wall of one of the rear tyers or they may even need balancing. Something to think about?

   so when does it bounce then?
   
   we cant help you unless you answer the questions, get under it and have a look at the rear shocks, if they are black then they are more then likely standard.

   a wobble, feels like the back wheels are egged but only happens now and again and only one side at a time, mainly the near side. shocks are blck so i imagine standard but theyre dead stiff so maybe not?
   lol how helpful am i

    get a mate to follow you and see if rear wheels are wobbling, or if ones pointing in.

    is it a wobble or what?
    
    will only notice the rear arb around tight corners, but even then the car wont wobble.
