Oh right. :laugh:

Could be the exhaust hitting the rear axle?! Or rear axle bushes? Have a look underneath. :smiley:

Shock top mounts are super common failure points on mk3's but seeing as you've said it make4s the car go all over the place id be more inclined to say it ws the rear axle bushes as these can make the arse end snake around when perished.

Sounds more like a rear axle bush.

Surely if it was a loose calliper that wouldn't account for the back end going wobbly?
I would guess bushes or other suspension compent as already said.
Good luck with it!  :smiley:

Doubt it will be anything to do with the caliper, could also be a worn rear shock or top mount.
