Is there anything that you can look at to tell if you have 4WAS?

Upon looking under all the covers, I've found some hidden damage on the used 2011 G37 I recently bought; and some disconnected wires. They look like they might be associated with 4WAS but I don't know what I'm looking at. Yet.

Regards

 

The rear differential will look like this (minus the brace).

 

I think it will be a LONG TIME before my rear differential looks anything like that!!!

Looks like it was assembled in a clean room, and never driven on normal streets!!!

Thanks and regards

 

Betty, WTH, you detailing the underside of the car now?

 

Put it in drive and turn the wheel a full turn. You should be able to see a slight move from the rear wheel.

 

The pic is not my car, came from b2autodedigns website.

But yes, sometimes the undercarriage needs cleaning and I have done it before. That's the difference between a professional detailer and a dude who washes cars.
