Default Noise once I go from start to rolling

Once I start to from a stop then to a roll I hear a noise like a click here and there. What could this be? After the roll I dont hear it again.

It's a bent crankshaft.


















Seriously, does the frequency increase with speed? Does it go away after a bit? Have you done any work on it recently.

Please use the site search for the terms "axle click".

This issue has been covered extensively.

You have to either replace the outer cv joint(s) and bearing(s) or do what I did. I am the warranty on my Z. Take the wheel off and loosen the axle nut almost all the way. Tap gently with a hammer, the axle will slide in about 1-1+1/2 inches. Get some spray copper anti-seize with a straw and very carefully spray it into the splines from both sides. Get a fair amount of it in there but don't make a mess. Then just torque the nut to about 180ft/lbs and the click is gone. I just did this a week ago so I'm not sure how long it will last, but it worked. I put the anti-seize on my squeaky clutch fork pivot ball over 2000 miles ago and it's still silky smooth, it's good stuff, but I did tell you the right way to do it. The clicking cv and bearing should never be a problem anyway, just annoying.
