1987 z31 issue with LSD cv drive axel
So I just got my car back from my mechanic in east county, after arrel installed the custom gauges and new gauge cluster I went to visit my fam who moved to a new area up in the mountains. I'm going to take pics of these speed bumps but me and the homie went over these as best as we could it's already ruined a cv shaft/tire and suspension on a 2g eclipse. Now my suspension was pretty much shot out and I was saving to have it redone by arrel once I get the chance.
Anyway here's where the question comes into place after driving over that **** twice pretty sure it ****ed up my rear cv drive axel now I would just look for one for a 1987 300zx but after having the rb25 swap and putting in a LSD not sure where exactly to get some rear drive axels that will work with LSD. Also note my rims are 20 front 21 rear so I know that didn't help either. Wanted to know what you guys recommend. I'm almost 100% sure it's the cv drive while hitting turns braking into corners you will hear a loud clunking noise like u would with a fwd with a cv shaft issue.

to be honest I don't really know but I remember hearing r200 before while talking with him so it probably is. I can find out tomorrow though. I was planning in a couple months to get new shocks/coilovers and replace the eibach progressive springs. With this happening now I probably only have money to get rid of the huge 21 inch rims, go down to 18s get some new shocks and replace the cv shaft or drive shaft axel whatever.
thanks for your help I found out I have a 4 bolt flange after looking at it. one of the bushings is a little worn on the rear axel and the polyurethane boot is torn but the coilover/springs/shocks look in good shape but since someone stole some of my lugnuts my rim was lose and so was the spacer. So going to tighten lug nuts check the spacer,tighen it and then see how it is. Probably ride with the torn boot until I can replace the whole rear cv axel. So since autozone sells these parts do I just ask for a rear cv axel for an r200 lsd diff?
/Yea replacing the nuts on the one rim and the nuts on both spacers fixed the noise and the wobble. I probably have to replace the rear cv axel though eventually since the boot is worn to s***, and the bushing is cracked and worn also. I am dropping down to 18 inch rims next week though finally getting rid of these 21 inch tsw zolders.
