Kaze21 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hey guys and gals, just wondering if anyone have head of the rear diff moving forward in an r32 gtst? im not sure whether thats what the problem is or not as iv just bought the car and had to replace the tailshaft cause the centre bearing rubber had torn. Iv put the new tailshaft in and bolted up the rear half to the diff but i cant get the centre bearing to bolt up its about 1cm too far forward, im thinking it might just be easier to have the rear half of the shaft shortened and rebalanced but then i have concerns that there is actually something wrong further back and cause more damage later on. does anyone have any advice as id really like to try get the car on the road soon as i need to sell my other car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427561-diff-possibly-moved-forward/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenCJR31 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 sounds like you have the WRONG length tailshaft in there take it back off and compare it side to side with your other tailshaft Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427561-diff-possibly-moved-forward/#findComment-6903824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaze21 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 sounds like you have the WRONG length tailshaft in there take it back off and compare it side to side with your other tailshaft Well that's the thing when I bought the secondhand tailshaft I took the original with me for comparison and they we're both the same length. My guess is that either the diff has moved forward and torn the first rubber, or when the original owner converted it to manual he just didn't care about the rubber and forced it and I ended up with the same tailshaft size. The guy I bought the shaft off of was pretty certain it was from an r32 gtst Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427561-diff-possibly-moved-forward/#findComment-6904052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaze21 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 i think the problem may have been solved as the 32 has abs and i think i may have the non abs shaft Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427561-diff-possibly-moved-forward/#findComment-6904092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
