Looks like the passenger side is super sloppy ! And I noticed theres a clip missing from where the shims are behind the side gear. I'll provide pictures in a minute

There's the side gear (passenger side) I would say its got in and out play of about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. And also has some side to side play. I'm assuming that's what was making my rear tire wobble the last time I drove it

Do you have the limited slip rear end???

In any event, you need to fix that before you drive it again.

Do you see plates between the side gears, and the carrier housing?

I do believe that is indeed a LSD. Pick up the rebuild kit for it, and go thru it. (don't have to pull the carrier) Should be golden.
