Failing shock? Wasson here?

This. Disconnect the damper/shock from the arm. It'll point you in the right direction.

Have you tried dropping it to the floor, and jumping up and down on the rear? I'd imagine you'll find it hard to move the trailing arm up & down with just a tyre arm, particularly if those AVOs are set to hard. If you disconnect the shock, you might want to use a jack to pivot the arm. With the cars weight against it, you should get some movement....hopefully.

But, if there is rubbing then that's the tell-tale sign for worn bearings (camber /--\).

If it is buggered bearings, you'll want to sort it ASAP as 205 beam tubes are getting thin on the ground without paying top dollar. It's taken me a while to source a good one (I refuse to pay more than £100 for a frigging tube!).
