Ok I have 3 problems all to do with the axle! Need some help before it goes I can't sell it knowing that this is happening.
1. The rear axle seems to be slightly out on the passenger side by 5mil (this could be the kit isn't perfect and has been put on slightly out at one side.)
2. The passenger rear wheel is wobbeling when I'm driving I personally can't feel a thing but so many people have stopped me to tell me it's wobbleing.
3. I've tried highering the car on the rear but it always sits back to where it is. I know it can go higher as it wasn't standard this way. (I think the shockers are too short and are not allowing the arm to raise more) the shockers came with the Coilovers. To give you an example the car was sat at 34mm I higher ed it by 20mm it only went up by 10mm I tried again to 30mm still only 10mm
Thanks for the help guys at the moment I'm getting the car as safe and legal as posible so that the new owner can enjoy it as much as I have. I'd hate to think that in a few weeks of selling the car I hear it's blown a tyre, lost a wheel or all together been destroyed. I love this car more then my p***s!!!

Rear wheel bearing, or axle bearings sound knackered. Take the shocks off and see if they have any play in them. If its been really lowered they will be shot.

how big are your rear spacers ?
at worst you might need to change the rear wheel bearings now and again if the spacers are HUGE

not sure about the height.
even at standard height, the dampers are already compress a bit even when the car are jacked up.
wobble rear wheel will be wheel bearing. since it was at the rear you will hard feel anything at all.

Thanks guys,
The shockers are brand new only just added them on 2 week ago.
Rear wheel bearing sounds good.
Axle bearing sounds bad...
There 55mm spacers but they have been on 2week and this problem was happening before with the 25mm I originally thought it might be somthing to do with the old wheel but after testing them and then these doing it I know it couldnt be.
