not enough info to go off of pal. it could be the axle clicking issue that many folks have had as well.

i can only hear the clicking when going slow. If it is the axles, is it gonna be expensive?

it might help you isolate the source if you go in a tunnel or under a bridge near a wall and go whatever speed makes it the most obvious to hear.
if it is the rear axle clicking, it may or may not be covered under TSB 04065A (dated November 2005)

you could research rear axle clicking here on the forum and decide if it sounds similar. you could then call your local dealership if it sounds like that may be the same problem and mention the TSB to see if it would be repaired for free.

"little ticking" noise could also be a screw or just a rock stuck in the tire.

If Ernie worked on your car, it'd be suspension. If not, who knows?

Les Schwab probably waste of time and money. Find a local 350Z guy to help you find the problem or try a "good" dealership, they will be familiar with our car platform and it's common issues. Schwab MIGHT find the problem but will always find the bill.

they couldn't find anything wrong because they don't know what they are looking for. they deal with generic repairs and installs, wear items, brakes, tires..
