I have noticed that my rear wheels have a bit of camber and a mate said when he was driving behind me he saw my rear offside wheel was 'wobbling' like it was buckled and it wasn't like that before. Also it may sound weird but my car is lowering itself gradually!! The rear was standerd height and every 2weeks mabey I can hear a 'ping' from the back, everyone seems to think its lower than what it was. Any help with it can be good, and any cheaper options than to replace my rear beam cheers

wheels are cambered cos of the trailing arm bearing - or a similar bearing. Mine has the same.
If you look around you can find a refurbed rear end for £160 inc delivery

jack up your rear end and check for play in your rear wheels.
sometimes if found out sooner rather than later you could get away with just buying a replacement bearing kit. But if your beam is fucked then it would have probably already worn your stub pins, which means it is just easier to just buy a new beam
imaxles sell reconditioned beams at like £350, but tbh if it were me, id risk just buying a 2nd hand beam for £100. £350 is like half the price of a whole saxo these days lol
