   As the title says one of my rear wheels has play in it when you wiggle it or put pressure on it, i'm not sure what this could mean and how urgently i need to get it sorted. Surely it cant be good though?
   
   thanks

   Sounds to me like bearings in rear axle mate. Change them asap...wheel will fall off
   
   You can get the bearings pressed in at a garage, but most people tend to look for a decent 2nd hand axle on here and swap it over
