I have an 05 base with only 20k and when im starting in first it sounds as if a chain is draggin in the rear on the ground. It is very noticible after driving pretty hard, but even when im just cruising i can hear it. My friends z will do it ever once and awhile as well. I thought it was just some brake chatter and it wasnt. I took it to nissan twice and each time they had the car for 2 days had 3 diff techs look and couldnt find anything wrong with the car.

Is anyone else having this problem/ any suggesttions?

 

Easy fix at the dealership (took them 1 hour to fix while I waited). There's a TSB issued on this for the "rear axle clicking noise". Do a search on this forum for it; many have had it and it's not a big problem.

 

Loose heat shields ?

 

thanks, was your car making that noise?

 

its not the rear axle clicking...somrething prolly loose under the car.. put it on a lift and check it out. dont take it to nissan cause they suk

 

Hmm.. I just re-read your post again. The rear axle clicking noise only happens when going from a complete stop or slowing down to a complete stop. If you hear it while just cruising around, that may not be the problem.

 

i got that same clicking noise, mine is the rear axle clicking, and it does click while cruising, just letting on/off the gas or shifting down/up it doesn't matter.
