Unhappy clunking sound at low speeds....

I noticed a slight ticking sound when I first bought my car less than a month ago and it has now turned into a clunking sound from the rear end. It happens at speeds less than 10 mph only if I am turning? I have noticed it goes away after I reach about 15mph but it happens in 1st gear and reverse. Anyone have any suggestions before I take it in on Friday?

Neighbor's cat caught in the wheel well?

It sounds to me like the "axle-clicking" problem that is pretty common. If you want, I can sent you a PDF of the TSB. I had mine fixed. Mine clicked for probably a year and then started moving toward a clunk.

Sounds like you need a rear axle replaced, how many km on her?

I have the same thing and occurs whenever i slow down(~5mph) then accelerate. Im pretty sure it's the axles. Anyway my Z is an 03 with 70k miles. Will the dealership cover this at no charge or will i have to cough up some $? Thanks

:Nevermind, i guess u have to be under warranty to have it done for free
