Hi, I absolutely stopped driving it, the wheel was wobbling everywhere. Sadly, Ive decided to scrap it. I went through my last MOT and remembered the front coils need replacing plus Ive got knocks in the front and well I just have to bite the bullet. So public transport for a bit whilst I save up Thank you all for your advice, it helped me decide what I needed to do.

Thank you, if im getting the local garage to do this then how much would you guess it should cost? Would £1k be realistic with parts, labour and VAT? Perhaps a stupid question but should I look at the rest of the underneath including the front to see if its the same? If so then simply rid the car? Thank you again in advance, im sorry to take up time but this is really helping and every penny counts. The rest of the car has been sound so far and its just a run about for shopping and odd 100 mile journey.

Hi all, I managed to walk over to the garage, get under and take some photos. Jesus im no expert but was shocked at the sheer amount of rust, Even part 16 in the drawing in previous post looked like hell. Im now wondering if its even worth it but any thoughts or advice or even if you need more photos just say, would be really appreciated. Im bracing myself for the worst

Thank you everyone for your help. I know all of you cant see the issue so you are doing your best to help. I will try to get to the garage and take photos. What the garage owner said was "The rear beam axle is the only thing that tends to rust and give out and everything else is fine" but I agree i need to take photos. Thank you again everyone, will report back most likely on Monday.

Hi all, In advance, thanks for your time in reading my post. I have low income and hoping someone would be kind enough to guide me with my issue. I have a Skoda Octavia Mk2 Estate, 1.9tdi, was driving along a couple days ago and suddenly one of the rear wheels suddenly went inwards - im not a mechanic so forgive my poor way of describing it. Managed to crawl it to the local garage I use who are very honest and understand my finance position and told me my rear beam axle has failed. He said one brand new is a lot of money so I could try ebay. He did say if possible try to get a complete set and mentioned the word subframe but maybe I miss heard or its the same thing? Would someone kindly sanity check the ebay item I found and say if its a good or terrible idea as its unbranded. I thought perhaps replacing the control arms, etc would be a sound idea. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234038610616?fits=Car+Make%3ASkoda|Plat_Gen%3AMK+II|Model%3AOctavia&hash=item367dc9cab8:g:EFAAAOSwhIRkPjCs&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAOP%2Foo3vFsjNGFSX2mBFcqet71No2f%2BfPe2a2LIIABxphow11zmnWO7WLbpqyt9ddjbSR6Q0g4MrMzbOc083VJp7%2B%2FGoYKul7Wxjg2PpXMSsR5gcAXmvieAE%2BoZR0w%2FxnaVYSvNCltjb%2B%2Bh7DsjSTTPgbhOgGEL1HWitoqkLgIhTq78un9oRW93WlrPf8q07jnHy21REAHsWnceaGiLh5RRnbvxnLaiQQkiAVGonQzqbD5qi75VWv1AQl28mq4X9ZD2J1WjiXuCl2lDzms%2BkVovXnlrD1Mvz7xmmHaHwTmGloOVyBpyKIKO3RPwO2HKQtCVDe0p2aSoygDcBkQqlIKY%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-yXw5HFYg Thanks again for any input
