Default Clicking noise from rear of car

If you have a Z with clicking noises from the rear of the car. Go to the dealer so they could tighten the rear axle. I had this fixed one day ago. I hope it never comes back. It was annoying. Happens when accelerating from a stop.

I think all they can tighten is the hub nut, which they did on mine but noise is still there, less but still there so they are ordering axels.

Well after tightening the hell out of the axel nuts the noise was still there so I guess no other option.

Default clicking from R Rear axle

I just got mine back and no more clicking. All they did was tighten both hub nuts. So far every problem I have had with the car has been taken care of promptly. SERRA Nissan in Birmingham has made me a very satisfied customer.
