Has anyone fixed this problem yet? Its a clicking noise from the left rear wheel area. It clicks only on acceleration, and in reverse only on acceleration.Its been doing it for the last 5-6K miles, and its doing it more frequently now.
I know alot of people have this problem, and did a search for it, but this site needs some serious work done to their search engine.Thanks

 

Easily repaired. I believe there is now a TSB on it. Your dealer needs to disassemble and lube your axle splines...... if I remember right.

 

Thanks Damn I knew it had to be the axle, cause like I said only when load is applyed it clicks.
I had my dealer look for the problem 2 times now, but was never fixed. I will bring what you said to my dealers attention, and see what they have to say.. Thanks again

 

I had the same symptoms and took mine to Performance Nissan and they did what Jeff said no more problems. Rocky did a great job.

 

I had the clicking noise from the rear. Axle nuts were tighten. A month later,different noise from rear. Driveshaft nut were tighten. So far after couple thousand miles, no problems. Damn must be the torque

 

Anyone know what's the TSB number? I looked at the resource forum but no luck. Thanks.

 

wow , thanks guys, i had the same problem too.. i thought my car was fallin apart already... either that , or i had defective rims. I called the service dept and told them my axles were clickin. Going in today to get it fixed.

 

Either that, or it could be your hubs. I had to replace my passenger hub before the wheel feel off. Now, the driver's side is doing it too. Note the way the rear end "wiggles" under heavy accelleration without losing traction. Yep, you got a hub problem too. Get it fixed before your wheel falls off as well.

P.S. I track my car A LOT. So, know where my problem comes from...

 

Driveshaft nut were tighten.

can u tell me where is it?????
they said he don;t think about it
my dealer is too suck

 

TSB here: http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/nissa...ayII/54538.asp

 

i done it, after 15000 km , the sound coming out again

but still had a clicking sound, they said they had reallly no idea on it.

so that why i ask anyone to know where is "Driveshaft nut". i want point it to my dealer, and they don't think re-torque any nuts can help the sound gone.

who can help me ............please........i will be crazy soon

 

buddy
did you fixed your track 350z?? after i back from track day. the sound coming again. before i replace the wheel bearing and alex outter. the sound coming again after 1500km, hubs can make the a sound from rear side???

how to tell to my dealer to check it. because i went to track, do u think they will fix my car if i tell them i was ran on track.

is it easy to recognize the hubs had a problem???

thanks

Posts: 49 Just got mine out the shop today because of the window motor problem (they replaced the motor and regulator) and my SA gave me a copy of the Service Bulletin which shows the problem is the outer wheel bearing and axel joint assembly, the dust boot has to be replaced when you dissasemble the bearings.

SERVICE BULLETIN NTB04-065
affects all 2003 models and 2004 built before 2-14-04

description part #
Bearing assy, rear 43210-AL505
Axel outer joint assy 39211-73L00
Repair kit, dust boot outer 39241-73L28

Take the car to the dealer and tell them to bring up this TSB, they have to order the parts and fix under warranty
