Hey
My saxo has play on the passenger side rear wheel but not the one on the drivers side, it makes a clunk when i go over speed bumps as well and you can see when you jack it up it is rubbing on the inside wheel arch as it has left a big clean mark on the dirty inside. It dose sound like i need a reconditioned back axel from what i have seen on this but it got done 2 years ago and as i say the wheel on the other side is totally fine just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this could be and what its going to cost?
thanks :)

Pretty sure its gonna be the axle, was it replaced with a reconditioned one last time or just a used one?

Not sure it was before i got the car but i have the receipt and it says the part was £300 and i got told it was a reconditioned one when i bought it, so can it be gubbed even though its just one side? :(
Thanks

Yeah it can be one side there is a bearing each side of the axle, have you checked the wheel bearings for play? although i doubt the bearing would make it lean that much.
