A Wobble In The Rear End

Hi Guys

Recently just got my car back, 95 r33 gtr vspec. was getting eflex and tune after couple new parts.

Driving home I was getting a bit of a sway or wobble in the rear, felt like the rear. normally I like a little bit of wobble but not on the car haha.

So took it easy it was only when I went over a rise or bit of a bump in a dip. Ive had shot suspension before and definitely didn't feel like that.

So checked all wheel nuts when I got home, all good and tight. went down to pump up tires as they were a little low, 15psi then what I would usually have them. went for a drive felt good. gave it a little and the wobble was back. Pulled over and had a quick look under. all nuts and bolts where there and seemed good.

Got home and jacked it up, gave it a once over. Found that I could move the passenger side wheel to the left and right, well left and back again, about 2mm or so. Driver side is all tight no movement. The movement seems to be coming form the join at the steering rack. The tie rod doesn't have movement anywhere.

My questions are, am I right in assuming that there should be no movement at all, and this is what could be giving me the "wobble".

if so, are there any bushes I can replace rather then the rack itself, as the exploded diagram from Nissan doesn't have anything apart from rack, and the tie rods, covers and what not. or an over haul kit or something of the like.

Has anyone else had an issue like this and should I just put a hicas lock bar in as most likely cheaper. Also is it just a simple job as the 33 is elec rather then the hydraulic one on the 32s.

thanks for any help you guys can offer. any pics also to reference would be appreciated. I have attached the view Nissan sent me.

cheers guys

it didn't seem like it had any movement, but I didn't pull it all the way off to check. had to get more tools from the ute and wasn't overly keen that arvo. thought id ask a question first before ripping it apart. but I do plan on pulling the tie rod off so I can check the ball joint for movement and then the actual shaft into the rack.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
