Rear beam repair advice
#2
If the beam is seized, the mounts and shocks will achieve little I'm afraid - the problem will be that the arm itself is seized because the shaft it rotates on will have rusted in place thanks to water ingress and the bearings disintegrating. If it's got to that stage, your existing beam is probably beyond the point of being repaired/reconditioned as the tube will likely be dead.

It'll need a replacement beam, and given the age of them now, you'd be advised to get a recon one from someone reputable as original ones are often dead or dying now. Stiff or seized on one side, excessive camber or knocking/play are sure signs that it's goosed.... but don't take the lack of those symptoms that it's good.
