Sounds to me like you might have a problem with the preload on the wheel bearings. The Safari rear wheel bearings are shimmed under the outer axle flange. I can't recall the limits but if you get hold of a manual it is clear how to set it up.

Cheers.

This will be the problem, mine was the same. A gearmaker can fix it pretty cheaply for you. I had mine done in CHCH, but I think he may have been levelled.
