Just noticed last night there is some side to side movement in the rear end as I wiggle it. I fitted the Pro Pack from SC a year ago, are there any other options?

From looking at the stuff which has come off it looks like the bearings are a poor fit on the axle and most of the movement has occurred here and worn the axle away!

Anyone?

Does just replacing the bearings improve things or do i need the axle as well?

If you have actually worn the axle then I'd suspect that this needs to be changed as well. The bearing should be a good fit on the axle, and there shouldn't be any play between the two.

If the axle has been worn down you'll be able to feel an edge on the axle shaft with your fingernail...

Sounds like you need a new axle too take it out and inspect it.
