Wobley Rear End?? What's Loose?

[eXc]

ok i got the driveshaft out tonight. now it is out, i can move it that 3mm i was talking about. the movement is at CV joint - Nearest to the wheel.

So I am guessing there shouldn't be movement there? Any threads on replacing CV joints? ? I couldnt find any of use

I really can't see this being the problem. The drift shaft seems to have no effect on the problems I describe. Just looking at it, it doesnt support the wheel or suspension at all, even if its loose, its just making the wheel turn.

I am only learning and guessing, but I can't see it being the problem.

i've just had the same problem fixed up.

I thought it was shot subframe bushes, but it turns out it was the rear crossmember bush (completely dead). Pineapples went in and the subframe is now locked tight - all good

Re doing them yourself the parts are not hard to remove from the car, and that is the bit that takes time.

From there unless you have a press and a hole saw I would take it to a workshop to remove and replace the bushes it is a fiddly job without the right tools
