When my car is jacked up I have play in the passenger side rear wheel I realy dont want to go down the route of new axle as its not the cheapest option and im on a budget sadly.

Second hand or get it repaired, but parts and labour will probably put it at a recon price.

if you have play in the wheel, wheelbearing, play in the suspension arm, beam replacement time.

How would I know its the wheel bearing. Its bit hard to explain when its jacked up and u hit the wheel wwth your hand it moves / vibrates

if theres play its probably buggered, with the tyres on do you notice the wheel leaning towards the body of the car?

No a dont think they do but I have just had 2 tyresput on the back because the inside of the tyre was bald a dont know if this matters. It wasnt till I put the new tyres have I noticed this and the fact that when u go over bumps it feels like the shocks are recked.

That sounds like the axle is dead, you will need to either rebuild one or go buy a new one.

Im in the middle of rebuilding one and its a proper pain in the arse, if you don't have the time, energy, and tools then get a refurb
