Default Rear axle gone?
i was driving no more that 15mph as i was pulling into a carpark and theres was a very loud thud from under the car, i thought id hit something?! looked and there was nothing.

looking around the axle and the osr wheel looks very toe in to me but also the camber looks well out. what u think?

The camber is not bad enough on either wheel to be able to give an exact answer.

Jack the car up and check for play in the axle (both sides), that will tell you whether it's gone
