I've just had a friend behind me tell me that my rear drivers side wheel wabbles slightly when i go over pot holes/speed bumps.
I've just jacked it up and the wheel wabbles like hell! when I spin it there's a slight rattling sound, I sourced it down to something next to the bushel, I was told it could be the whole arm, can anyone give me a helping hand on this?

i'd go for the wheel baring first as it's common and the cheapest ^_^

They were replaced in the MOT about 5 weeks ago, he did mention something being worn on the area im speaking of, but he said it should last a good 4 months

If it doesnt have a rear axle what does it have then? 
Worst case, get a new axle as its cheaper for a garage to do
But bearings cost roughly £70 or so

because the wheel bearing is inside the drum so the noise could still be the wheel bearing
