Just done an engine swap, rev1T to rev2T all is fine with the engine apart from teething troubles that i can sort but im having a big problem!
The full rear end feels like its wobbling all over the place...
Ive checked the bearings (as in pulling side to side etc) and there fine...
I dont think i put the correct bolts through the control arm bushes and
I rounded a bolt off on the front engine mount, so it only has 3 in...
could this cause the full rear to wobble?
What else could cause it?
Thankyou

Anything loose back there could upset it, go around and check all bolts are tight the engine mount shouldn't be too critical as it's controlling front to rear movement

Well either they fitted and you tightened them up, or not??
Not much point in anyone making suggestions 'til we know you've got the right bolts fitted!

check the castle nut on the end of the driveshaft. If it's loose the rear of the car feels absolutely awful, Basically the symptoms you're describing.
EDIT: Both sides obviously.

New rear tyres by any chance? T1R's?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wobbly rear end!
Check the rear arms are securely mounted to the subframe and also the ball joints are all good at the other end.
Other than that. Just go over everything making sure its in and tightened properly. Two bolts that bolt shock to the hub aswell.
