Hey i really need some help from some of you guys.

I just got my car back from a service and it turns out that the right rear wheel can be moved from left to right. It's the actual right hand side drive shaft.

Any help would be really appreciated as to what the problem is and if it can be fixed or if i need to be looking at a new diff.

Thanks

When you say move from left to right do you mean if you grab the wheel when it is off the ground you can move either side backwards and forwards a bit?

If so you need to get a suspension place to look at it. There is HICAS steering on the rear wheels but they should not move more than a tiney bit otherwise something important is loose

The drive shaft doesn't actually hold the wheel in position. So a crook drive shaft would not exhibit the symptoms you desribe.

Sounds more like a wheel bearing. Any half decent mechanic should be able to diagnose it.

So, it moves when you grab the wheel at "3 o'clock" and "9 o'clock" and shake the crap out of it? Does it do the same when you grab it at "12 o'clock" and "6 o'clock"?

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
