   Yeah my drivers rear wheel has been on camber for 7 months now, I have a rear beam in the garden which cost me £120 with warranty ready to fit.
   
   Grab yourself a Beam, Check eBay for around £80-180 delivered/local pickup most with few months warranty.

   if you buy a complete beam then it should already have bearings etc in them

   You only need the rear beam with arms etc at the price i stated in previous post then fitting varies. i got quoted £120 + VAT due to they have to bleed brakes etc also. but i got an offer down to £60 on the side job off a friends garage.
   
   Worth while asking for an off the books cash in hand job if you don't want to pay out double.

   +1 to this, Bearings are £20-30 depending which has gone.. but its getting them out and also if its been on camber for a while could have worn the pin inside which means a new beam and money thrown away..

    Yeah Rear full Axle would be good complete with disc brakes but if you have ABS on your car make sure you get an ABS beam if you want to keep ABS as its won't work with the sensor otherwise.
    
    So search for "Rear Axle" "Rear Beam".

    Example:
    
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT-106-GT...ht_1078wt_1098
    
    Only this if your going to use your own disc brakes currently on your beam or buy a complete one to save hassle.

    Who ever said it's not worth repairing the barrings, dont talk complete shite, ask any well known member on the forum and they will tell you to replace them too, knew axle with old barrings, might last a week or a year. It's the barrings that have caused it. I paid £180 iirc for new axle, barrings and labour

    bearings*
    
    if the new axle is complete it will already have bearings in it
