If its rubbing it mostly likely the axle bearing has given up.

Pack it on level ground and see if the wheels looks straight or its leaning in at the top

There is alot of camber on the back in running on steelies atm and there is maybe 6mm before the bumpstop for the beam

Anyone got a definitive answer

If there's a lot of camber your beam's gone mate

as above if the wheel has alot of negative camber the rear beam is fecked. bump stop has nothinh to do with it.

Bullox correct me if Im wrong price wise looking at about 100 quid for another beam i think

Second hand, aye, but you might only get 12 months out of it. Better plumping for a refurbed unit and getting another 10 years out of it..

Rebuild it yourself, pretty straight forward on the 306, cost about £150 and you will have basically a new axle

you can do it cheaper than that . you can buy the bearings from a refurb company for £45.

That includes bearings and inner stubs and all the other seals, washers and screws for both sides,
