    So pretty much my back axle has been going for a while now it just kept getting worse and worse and well I kept putting it off. About 6 months ago I had a beauty of a crash init totally smashing the back axle to piece's it's more bend than Graham Norton xD.

    But it's gonna cost £400 to buy the part and put it on at my local garage, isit really worth the effort?...

    What would you do if you were in my shoes?

    Ps. I fucking loved it when it was going!

    get a second hand one from a breakers yard and fit it yourself its pretty straight forward ... i got an axle for 160 pound absolutley fine no play at all and fitted it the same day it arrived theres plenty of guides on here on how to replace one aswell as lowering etc.. good luck fella !
