    Hi guys

    I have recently replaced the roller bearings on the near-side rear axle swing arm, they did a job for about a week however they have gone again and the wheel is starting to wobble again Is now the time to get a reconditioned rear axle ? I don't want to be dicking around with it again and can't be bothered to replace the bearings again. Would it be worth replacing the rear dampers as well ? They have been on the car for ages and the last owner had the car slammed 60+mm for a very long time. Any opinions would be great.

    P.s should i still be driving the car ?

    cheers.

    Grab a recon axle mate, dont risk second ahnd. replace dapers if they are weak/leaking. You can still drive it but if wheel gets "propa" wobbly then call it a day. Just use your judgement on the wheel and damper issue.
    sometimes the add at the top of this page ^^^^ shows an add for recon stuff.
