Default clicking noises...

has anyone ever had clicking noises coming from the bottom rear part of the car? it sounds like it might be somewhere in the drivetrain cuz it clicks when i take off and when i slow down. It's fine when I slow down in neutral.
another problem i have is my A/C doesn't work, i gotta take it to the dealer and see what they say. but if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

thanx

Yup...i had this problem while my A/C was broken. My A/C high pressure switch and harness had corrosion at the terminal connection. It was causing the switch to turn off the compressor when at a stop.

Basically: Clicking Noise=Compressor Turning Off

Good luck when you take it in to get checked out. I didnt have my Z for 10 days

You can also get a clicking metalic tapping sound from the stock clutch and flywheel. The flywheel has 2 plates that has a small amount of give.
When you start or stop it can knock. This is normal btw.

The clutch is spring loaded so you can get a sound from them too if you have a single plate flywheel.

There is a TSB on the clicking noise, take this to the dealer to get it fixed........ It is not normal.

Yep, my car is at the dealer right now getting that TSB. They have to REPLACE one or both axles, it aint no grease-job.

I should add they're making me take a part of my Borla TD off just to do it, they wanna charge me $175 to do that themselves. Jackasses.
