Been told this could be my rear axle causing this. Would replacing the bushes resolve this and if I can replace them would do they need to be pressed in and pressed out?

Normally by the time you notice the bearings want replacing on the rear axle its beyond repair as the stubs get damaged / marked by the defective bearings.
Fitting new bearings to a damaged axle is a waste of time as they wont last very long.
By all means strip it apart but be ready to get another rear beam.

Would any axle be ok on the gti as long as its discs and abs
Even if it's off a cc or lower engine'd car as long as I change the shocks over

Even buy a drum one and swap the brakes/stubs over.. Thats not the easiest job in the world though. But possible!

Got hold off a rear axle off a 2000 plate gti that's just come in
Now probably a silly thing to ask but should I just change the bearings on the new/2nd hand axle while it's off the car
