well the bushes are away on the right hand side, and theirs a fair bit of play on them, is it proper dangerous to drive about on it?

i really need the car for commuting and that and i've no money just now untill my boss gives me the £300 he owes me

thanks for any help in advance

ooh fuck, what you now have described is totally different.
The bearings and stub pins are dead on your rear beams.
Sounds like a new beam

i fitted vtr alloys to my saxo 1.1 02 plate and eventually we car has started leaning to one side on the passenger side and looks to be the front and back and the rear wheel wud rub on the wheel arch wen i wud corner so i took it 2 the pug specialist in nuneaton and they said everything was fine and after a while all saxo's tend to lean to one side even on a level surface and they sugested i just put sum harder shocks on the rear to prevent it rubbing on the arch,since then i have changed the standerd shocks and have put sum heavy duty gas shocks on the has stopped the rubbing but ca still seems a bit dipped at the rear and also looks low on the front based on wen i have a m8 in the front it looks lowe on tht side but have bumped tested it both sides and seem the same and doesn't appear to be the front shock or spring can any1 help asap

how can it be fine if it rubs? also if it leans its either had a dodgy lowering job or a torsion bar has gone weak.

So if it knocks then all it needs is new bushes but if the wheel leans and or rubs then its a new beam?

If it knocks it dosent neccesarily means its bushes.

If it leans or rubs then its more than likley pins and or axelpins/bearings.

Which means a new beam.
