Right you mechanically gifted lot. I changed a bearing on the O/S/R no more than a month ago. And the car failed on the MOT yesterday with excessive play in that side bearing!

Any ideas as to what could be causing the failure? I’ve been told it may need a new stub axle, possibly warped/worn Drums where the bearing fit or the bearing wasn’t tightened to the right torque.

The cars a 2000 Focus 1.6. with drums on the rear.

i'd rather nt be forking out for new axle/drums if not required
