I'm getting a clicking noise in my rear right suspension when I go from reverse to drive, Also when I put it into park. It almost seems like something is loose or maybe a drive shaft. Anybody have this problem?

 

Forget search button, just click the link in my signature. Top 100 questions thread.

It's covered under warranty via TSB service. If your dealer pretends like they don't know what a TSB is, kick them in the nuts.

 

This "TBS" would cover Canadian issues too eh?

 

Jenn......check your PM inbox.

 

Thing is that my car is bought salvaged so I don't know if they will still cover it. It's worth a try though!

 

NISSAN is very specific about warranty and salvage. Read page 6 of your warranty book.

i just had this fixed on my car this week by the dealer. no parts were replaced, just coated the axle and bearings with the Molykote M77 grease.

 

I don't have a warranty book. Any body know if they'll cover the axle clicking with a salvage vehicle. I've got an 05 with 29,000

 

I would scan it for you if I had a scanner, but here's what it says word for word on page 6 of my limited warranty manual.
"This limited warranty does not apply to any vehicle, and is rendered void if the vehicle is (or ever has been) issued a "salvage" or similar title under any state's law; or has been determined to be a "total loss" or equivalent by any insurance company, such as by payment of a cash payment of claim in lieu of repairs because of a determination that the cost of repairs exceeded the actual cash value of the vehicle."
Sorry man, but it doesn't sound good.

 

Here is what is included in the TSB service for rear axle clicking:

-some nuts and bolts
-some grease
-about 1 - 1.5 hours of labor

should cost you no more than $100 - 150 if they won't cover it under warranty.

 

I will paraphrase the NISSAN warranty:

For any vehicle with a salvage title, the warranty is void.

 

Hopefully I can find a Lenient service writer.

 

Thanx Jason!


I took the car in this morning at 7:30am. I had the TSB printed out and ready to bring in for a speedy diagnosis but I forgot it by the door as I was running out of the house to make it there in time

I tried explaining the 2 TSB's (Navi and Axle issues) so I hope they (service guys) clue in and hook me up with some free warranty repairs

 

They should Jenn. I didn't take in the copy of the TSB either. Let me know how everything turns out when you get the car back.

 

Do yall know if they will cover this under warranty if I have lowered my car w/ aftermarket springs and have aftermarket wheels?

 

Performance nissan did it for me for free, you can see in my sig what I have on the car.

 

I don't see why not. Rear axle clicking is a common problem for all 350Zs. You mods did not cause the problem.
