    aren't you able to do something to the diff housing to keep it in place? then the tailshaft shouldn't be a problem. i can't rmember what it is called but it is like 2 parallel bars working in tandem with each other to ensure the diff doesn't go for a wander in the rotational directions (which sounds like the issue you are having.)

    Yeah thats a good point.. Regardless i'll get a new tailshaft just for piece of mind.

    But it does seem the diff moves an awful lot, it's got firm noltec bushes in it. Adjustable trailing arms to set the pinion angle..

    But when you put the boot into it, the arse squats right down and the diff must end up moving forward quite a bit for the centre uni to be able to touch the bearing carrier thing.

    Probably having unequal length trailing arms like Celicas & AE86's etc have isn't going to help the situation.
