R32 Sideview mirror shakesites while driving

Hey guys I noticed the other day while driving that my driver side wing/sideview mirror shakes while driving. It's not the glass that's loose it's the actual folding mirror that is loose. I searched and read some people have success opening and closing the mirrors and that locks it out solid however I didn't have luck with that. Is there screws inside that can be tightened up or something that can be done so it's stops shaking while driving? It works it's just annoying not being able to see steadily out of the mirror.

Just for clarification the mirror moves forward and backward through its sweep.

So I guess I should have just looked at it some before posting....

For anyone else who is curious about how to fix this here's the info.  Under each mirror is a small rectangular plastic piece, pop it out. I found it easiest to loosen the mirror mounting bolts so you can get a better angle however I was able to do the pass mirror without loosening.  Once you get the small cover off you will see one Phillips head screw tighten this up, now follow the wire back towards to other side of the access hole and look under the wire there will be a second Phillips there to tighten also.  Once both are tightened reinstall the covers and you're good to go.   

*side note if you want to so you don't have to go back down the road to retighten.  Pull each phillips one at a time and apply some BLUE MEDIUM STRENGTH lock tight to the thread and tighten down. Highly recommended you use blue and NOT red.

Under the mirror, little rectangular panel, pull it off and tighten the screws. Removing the door card and then unbolting the mirror makes it easier (sorry haven't been on here the whole week). Yes loctite is handy, my passenger one keeps drooping because of one screw lol (I should put Loctite on it).

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
