   It's on the rear nearside wheel can't be wrong driveshaft it's been on there since I've owned the car and I only had the problem a little while? Also do you have rear wishbones? Lol

   Possible radius arm bearing worn. Best bet is to buy a recon axle. A few guys on here do them in exvchange for your old unit.

   if the wheel bearing and hubs done then it will be the ream beam bearings. New beam time
   Stand behind the car and see if the wheels sit like this
   I--I correct
   /--I fucked
   I--\ fucked
   /--\ very very fucked
   
   there should be no visible camber on the rear wheels

   Fuck it! I though you guys were gonna say rear axle how much is it for a recon one? For vts mk2 anyone know? Also is it dangerous to drive the car like this?

   i just had a recon axle fitted to my car by IM axle, their axles roughly aroun £290 but i think you get 10% discount for been a premium member, £25 back for giving them your fucked axle and i think it was £80 to get them to fit it. their nice and really friendly guys, leave them a message on here as they have their own thread page thingy bob

    well, if you have all the right tools ect and mechanical knowledge i can't see why not but for £80 i thought that was a decent price for them to do it.
