Radius arm o/s

[Liam11]

I have a peugeot 206 1.1, its my first car just as a runabout, and after having it a few month it has developed a wobble on the o/s (drivers side) rear wheel, I am a HGV Mechanic myself so can have a go and can get access to a press etc, but after having a look I believe it doesn't look too bad a job, im not sure if you can just get a new radius arm with the bearings pressed in or just get a new bearings kit or what so thats all I need to know, I would rather just replace the bearings etc than a whole axle, there i a lot of play and the wheel can be pulled away from the chassis pretty badly, not in such a way that it will fall off ha, but yeah, anything will help, but please reply as im attacking it over the weekend with my friend.

Thanks

Secondhand axle cheapest option. Repairing it will cost £££££!

Yer thats what I thought, although you can get a repair kit on ebay for 40 quid, but my concern is with it having so much play maybe the axle is worn also, getting a second hand looks to be the best bet, just finding a one which isnt the same :/

The axle tube will most likely be very worn. The needle bearings in the swinging arms wear into the tube rendering it useless.
