Couldn't agree more! I had two dealers tell me it was mandatory 1.5 hr job and that was the cost to re-lube the axles. After reading more about this it sounds like it's more than just relubing the axles. Sounds like you need bolts, washers and nuts to fix it...who knows!

Frank Hill had a reasonable price to do it. 75-100 I think... I cant really remember if that was per side or for both. Either way its cheaper than $300. I watched him do it and it looked fairly straight forward. There is a DIY in the section on this forum too. i think if you can do brakes you can do this....

How long ago did he do yours? Has it came back at all? Is he in MD, if so it may be worth the drive for me. However, I have no problem doing brakes and such on my car..just wasn't sure if I needed a lift.

I had mine done under warranty and the invoice from the dealer was ~$450 (full list price parts + labor if it were not covered by warranty).

Hills Garage is in baltimore. I find the address (or see barneys signature)

Here is the DIY
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-driv...rear-axle.html

And I had mine done 25000-30000 miles ago. I thought it had come back but it ended up my SPC endlinks. I think combination of salt, sand and the Hotchkis sways left them needing some TLC. But I havent heard it come back. Some people have had it come back. Ive also heard of people hitting that center axle bolt with an impact wrench and that got rid of it for a while. Over all I think its worth the money to have them done

Its seriously not that expensive to fix. Also you need to see if its both are clicking or its only one.

It appears to be more apparent on the right side, but i do believe i'm hearing it on the left side as well.

I sent hills a message and it looks like its around $100 if thats all it needs. Apparently there is some other stuff that could be wrong so it may end up being more. Just give Frank a call.
