I replaced the bolt with a new one yesterday.
Strange the 3-4 mm lateral movement was there at the outer cc joint where it mates with the splines.
The bolt itself is very tight. I over torqued it and snapped the head , hoping that tightening will cure the movement.
I drilled the snapped bolt using an extractor. Lucky on that.
Iam thinking that this movement was was already there in the car before I replaced the ring . Someone put double washer on the driveshaft bolt and also used custom made bolt to fit into the driveshaft by cutting the length of the bolt.

Now my question is what makes the shaft move laterally. Please some experts here on the forum shed some lights so I can cure it.

Iam inclined to some one fitted a bit longer drive shaft so even if the shaft is tightened properly or some one adjusted the camber might inserted extra washer in the bolt.
Thank you.
