#1: x reg 206 gti possible rear axle problem?? Author: ceramicfilm, Posted: Sat May 21, 2016 8:41 pm ---- ok so i have bought a 206 project,during a test drive,i experienced the rear end going into a corner was wobbling severely all over the place,i havnt had a chance to look as yet.......i suspect rear bushes? im sure somebody will have more knowledge on this,wheels dont seem to wobble,but the whole rear end seems to sway about........
suggestions and comments welcome...

Can i repair it with bushes? Or just as cost effective to find another beam?
Thanks for taking time to reply!

thanks for the info!
So where would be the best place youd recommend online to look for a replacement?

I would use them again when i get round to doing my gti's axle
