Hi all been hearing a knocking coming from the rear, had the car up on the ramps today and it's seems to be both drive shafts

Here's a video of the passenger side but drivers side is the same

So is it an easy fix, seals or something?

Either CV joint or bearings are knackered.

I'd check the hub nut is tight if the joint through the bearing is loose.
If the CV is tight in the bearing, then the shaft is knackered. I'm surprised it passed the MOT with that much slop.

I was thinking that aswell, it only passed MOT in July! I'll check the hub nut tomorrow.

The hub nuts were indeed not properly tightened! They weren't even notched in to stop them moving!

I've loosened everything and re-tightened and the axles are still knocking the same!

Looks like new axles then!
