Default Something clicking in the rear, axles or driveshafts?

My car is starting to click upon accel and decel at slower speed (probably goes away at high speeds because i cant hear it). Anyway is this the dreadful axle deal? It is clicking pretty bad now when I move it slowly. The dealer ordered a kit, is that suppose to fix the clicking?

yo you all know to check for TSBs and Recalls right yo? because that has been a known issue for a long time and there are several posts about it when you search the forum.

Ok, I guess I dont because I just called a local dealership and gave them my VIN. They say there are NO recalls on it. I have been having the same issue. So how about some honest advise instead of smart@$$ remarks?

The dealer was right, there was NO recalls on real axles clicking. Recalls only happen when all the vehicles are affected. Now, TSBs are some of the vehicles might have the particular issues. You can print out the TSB and bring it to dealer, they should take care of it. Hope this helps

its not a recall..its only a TSB. Recalls are administered by the National Highway Safety something something something. So unfortanetely this is not a safety issue or there possibly could have been a recall. A TSB is simply a bulletin sent to dealers about potential issues and repairs on a known problem with their vehicles.

Yeah your right, thanks. I thought the jackass at the dealership was lieing to me because I was so sure that everyone here was right. I guess it's a TSB. Are they going to try and stick me with a bill to get this damn thing fixed?
