Noticed a slight knocking yesterday over bumps and figured it may have been as i had people in the back which is a rare thing but had a look anyway
Found this

Looks like the Pass. side wheel is alot closer to the arch than the drivers and has a nice amount of camber to it but it doesnt look like the drivers does?
Am i right in thinking its a f*cked beam or is it something else?
Also looked like the passenger side is a little bit lower but not majorly different

That's a pain you need a new rear beam mate! Recon 1s are a fair bit! There's a company at stockland that do them but there about £400 I think. Best to get a 2nd hand 1 for about £100

Yep that beam is fooked pal, mass amounts of camber!
Recon beam = £350-450 aswell as your fooked beam
But and theres always a but. i was chatting to a guy at fcs that can supply the new bearings for £45 if your willing to have a crack at it?
I will find his card out if you want the bearings

ok mate. you could come up my mates if you wanted as we got tools and all that up there to make it easier.
it should be ok to drive it for a bit like it is but it might be scrubbing on the inside of the arch but it depends how made it is

You think? I thought that would be reasonable tbh. Been selling beams on eBay that my mate gets in for 1-120 that's standard.
