Best price for vtr rear axle?

[Markizzle]

Hi Guys,

Pretty sure I need a new rear axle as the rear passenger side wheel has some play in it and wobbles the car shakes from the rear at 55-60mph. Getting it up on some stands today to have a look, don't think it'll be much else though. Any other ideas or tips as to what to look out for? But supposing I do need a new rear axle has anyone got any suggestions for the cheapest re-cons or new? Don't want to go to the scrappies as its only likely to go wrong again soon.

Cheers,
Mark

Wheel bearing? Or is it the arm wiggling?? Wheel not tight and im axles on here is your best bet mate, recon one....

How do I tell the difference between a knackered axle or a knackered bearing?

It's hard tbh.. If the bearing has been knackered for a while it would have cut grooves into the pin on the axle!
