rear clicking noise
i drive an 05 enthusiast with 14k+ miles. sometimes if i coast slowly, and come to a stop I will hear a rear clicking noise, AFTER coming to a halt. This doesnt happen when I am going at higher speeds.
could this be the axel or rear suspension? any help? thanks

its common, mines been doing if for over 35K miles and I was just under my car to check a few things out and noticed nothing of concern.
Its just the bolts clanking, with no real problem and its merely an annoyance.
I do believe there is a TSB for it, but all they do is slap some grease on there. They may replace something, I dont really know, but someone told me it just came back again, shortly after they fixed it.

its not the bolts that cause the noise, only reason Nissan tells to replace those bolts is because they are aluminum and they want no liability if they brake after being removed and over torqued too many times. An actual fix is applying PBC grease(Nissan Anti-Sieze) to the axle splines and any area where it contacts the bearing/hub.

AAHHH so that's what that is. I had taken it to get it repaired, and about 5 months, 7154 miles later...it's back. I've grown to live with it. One of these days I'll jack up the rear end and take care of the problem...when it becomes a problem.

Just to 3rd or 4 th what everyone is saying, I took my Z into the dealer and they are fixing it the way the TSB? I guess thats what its called says to. Nissan replaces the bolts first and greases everything up...IF it keeps clicking(which it doesn't) then they actually replace something major, not sure what it was the guy said, but yea its free so just go to nissan and tell them there is a rear axle clicking noise and they will know exactly what your talkin about.
Oh and while your there might as well check for recalls...I guess there was a fuel hose assembly recall on mine? Dunno i let em do it though, it was free
