How many miles are on your car?

I have a touring with sport package. But it’s stock besides exhaust, test pipes, intakes, coils, wheels and tires. And cosmetic mods. 60k on car. But yeah I could see one tire fire causing it. Never really burned out or did any donuts or anything. Like at all. Worse I do is 100 + pulls every now and then and take corners rather fast because it handles so well. And feels so planted. So not sure. Can’t I jack the rear up and spin one wheel and test if it’s open diff (worn out VLSD) ?
I believe it’s (open = I spin left wheel clockwise , the right wheel will spin opposite) (LSD/VLSD they will both spin same direction) ?

It was pretty easily moved under the car , wobbily as hell off the car like completely gone. And yeah no noise. Just slight squeak until I lubed it.

To be fair, your toe is not ideal. Having the camber set so aggressively is actually masking this problem. It should be lower than .1 degrees. Preferably toe'd in. Adding toe in will also increase negative camber though
I’m going by Nissan today! I put OEM camber arms back on, car handles the same if not better. No wobbly feeling in rear. I think these arms are just sh*t and wore out. The bearing is def worn. Wobbily as hell.
