mot fail Rear axel

[simply]

Hi my mk2 2002 vts failed mot because off to much play on the offside rear axel assembly, would this mean i definatley need a new axel to pass ? recently had a burst shock on the rear think this could have damaged something on that side

There's refurbishing guides mate, you can do it yourself if you have the tools and a day to do it, but if your pins are worn you'll be needing a new axle, as far as I know you need something like a 4ton press to replace the pins..

best to order one from imaxles saves alot of time and they are the best on the market for refurbed beams

If your axel only has a little bit of play, does it pass an MOT?

Slight play would be an advisory...as would 'some play' if it were not major. But Excessive movement/play would fail
