Wobbly Rear Wheel

A friend of mine has a Spitfire with a wobbly rear wheel, thinking it was the rim we removed it only to find that the entire hub was moving on each revolution. We suspect it to be a drive shaft problem but are a bit stumped! Has anyone come across this problem before or got any wise words of advice??!!

OH yes You have already identified the problem. Its got a bent shaft and will need replacing ..Make sure you get the correct shaft as two different lengths a available depending on the rear spring. Best bet is to measure the other one then you can match it. Get a copy of Triumph World for suppliers of new and used parts.you will need to strip the old shaft aswell as replacing the bearing that runs direct onto the shaft.
