More likely axle bearings. I would understand their point of view in this instance as replacing bearings on these is usually not successful due to axle wear. A reconditioned axle is the way to go here.

Cheaper to replace the back axle i was told.

seen a fella push the rear of the car sideways once, loads of movement.

Bit the dust and stripped my Puma today.

Whilst stripping it we found that 2/3 feet of the rear chassis legs were missing.

She'll be a fine donor car.
