Rear Beam (Confused)
I have camber on one of my rear wheels which is leading me to believe the im in need of a new rear beam, I have noticed this for a few weeks now but it went through the MOT without any issues.
Is this normal or am I looking at possibly a knackered wheel bearing as I can hear a clicking sound coming from the same wheel that has camber at slow speed?
cheers

if there was an issue i would has assumed the MOT would have picked it up, play in these axles are pretty noticable.
jack it up, hold the wheel at 6-12 - and 3- 9 rock it, check for play, Spin the wheel and use your finger and thumb and hold the bottom of the shock, brake lines and try to feel any sound through your fingers

i know, scary shit.
it boils my piss, when people are concerned about their vehicles after its been for an MOT, potentially the tester has missed something, this is dangerous imo and gives testers a bad name.
