Hey everyone,

This clicking sound started to annoy me when it started a few months ago. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it but I will try my best.

This clicking sound comes from the right rear wheel whenever I corner a hard left. The volume of the sound seems to be higher when either there is more speed or during a sharper turn. The clicking sound is rhythmic within a turn and disappears once the car is no longer cornering hard.

I was able to eliminate the following possibilities:
1. Not tire hitting the fender because after switching to 285 in the rear and lowering the car, I've rolled my fenders and all was good.
2. The rhythmic sound makes me think logically that the sound cannot come from the Tein Monoflex.
3. I've just changed my rear endlinks to Powergrid's so it cannot be the endlinks.

I've been to 2 garages and no one could find any apparent problems and/or things that are obstructing the wheels during a corner. Can someone please shed me some light before I go crazy?

Thank you!

 

Not a trained mechanic nor do I know this is true without looking at the car.. but have you checked your axles?

 

axle bearings/washers make a click, most people only hear it at low parking lot speeds, search "click"

 

worn bushings? wild guess. Mine does that, but its more of a creaking sound.

 

I've tried searching click in this sub-forum, however, I couldn't find any similar cases from other members. The sound is definitely more a clicking sound the creaking sound...

Here ya go even a DIY guide https://my350z.com/forum/engine-driv...rear-axle.html

 

So I brought my car to another shop to check for the source of the clicking sound, and they said it is from the Tein Monoflex suspension; and I shouldn't be worrying. Has anybody heard or had experience this before?

Edit: The shop said that the clicking sound is because the Tein Monoflex did not have Helper springs.
