Gah a problem I need early advice with guys!
So when I drive, the driver side rear wheel moves sideways like it wants to fall off.
I have jacked the car up and tried moving the wheel with my hands in every direction but it seems very stable.
Any idea on what I should try next or what the issue could be?
Ive been told it looks quite severe when driving!
HELP!

More than likely your axle bearings have failed mate

Interesting! Is that something any place like kwikfit would do, do you think? (Cant believe ive been driving like this for months unknowingly - I assumed the noise was my exhaust dangling :/)

If you want it to be worse afterwards .. feel free! Take it to a PROPER garage, not a bunch of tyre fitters ...

I just needed a diagnosis really! My local kwikfit isnt too bad compared to what I hear about others tbf!
So ive been told some kind of bearing around the torsion bar (?) has gone and it needs like a new one?
How does that sound? Plausible?
Or is this the radius arm bearings I mean? It cant be the actual torsion bar I guess?
Its really the little parts in this pic??
