hey folks!

just a quick ask for some advice..

the camber on the back wheels of my sax sits out like f*ck.. jacked it up on both sides and the wheel jst wiggles about!! so basically as far as i know thts a shagged rear axle!!!

BUT my tradesman at work (i'm an apprentice mechanic) sayed someting about rear axle bushes or bearings that can sometimes be replaced?

any help would be great!!

They can be, but when I needed a new one, they said that it could work out cheaper to fit a new rear axle as they're quite fiddly jobs... Not sure how true that is though...?
