may be your wheels need balancing

At what speeds are talking about?
Does it do it on normal roads? or corners?

roughly anything above 40. mainly it feels loose on the back end.
when i kick the tyres the back passenger side seems to move a lot more than the others and a frequent banging from the same side. but not all the time.
took the wheel off and put back on properly and made sure nuts were tight but still doing it.

I am thinking wheel bearing?

if it is the wheel bearing what are these like to replace? ie time, cost, and if it is a garage job.
thanks, shawn r

Sorry, on a scoob i have no idea.
Last one I did was a mk5 Escort, cost about £30 and took me 1 hr to do, although I did have trouble getting sufficient torque to tighten it down.
Jack up the car, with it off the ground and the handbrake not on grab the wheel (one hand at top, one at bottom) and try to wobble it. Try this at both sides.
If neither wobble like this then it is probably not a wheel bearing.
