chriswillis Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 As the title suggests really?? I have clicky axles (i think both) and i want to sort it but don't really want to shell out £400 notes. Does anyone on here have experience/thoughts on greasing and rotating their own? If so, i'd be interested to know how long it lasted before clicking again?? Am i just going to waste a day doing my own only to have it start clicking again a couple of days later or is it likely to last??? Many thanks for any suggestions/help. Chris Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 i suffer the same on one side, its a job i keep putting off, my plan is just to turna dn regrease, but i keep thinking about doing it properly and just doing it once. but i have othe rtings to sort out as well Quote
craigo Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I had mine done by Nissan under warranty in March, soon after buying it. (car is 05) its OK still at the moment but I have only done a 1000 miles or so since, so I guess not a real world test! Might be worth trying it, and see how it goes. Quote
Stew Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Maybe worth trying but ZMANALEX does the kits to fix the issue properly for a decent price. Quote
chriswillis Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Cheers for that Stew - yeah thy are £200 per side iirc. Anyone else with a "long termer half fix" comment at all? Really i'd like to give it a go at greasing to save the bucks but i want to make sure it'll be worth it first. Chris Quote

rawbhp Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I spoke to Japex in Kings Langley about this yesterday. Certainly the new kit will stop it happening again, but at £400 it is a big outlay. Japex said they have regreased a few Zs with better quality grease, and as yet none have come back with problems. The deal breaker is that they charge 1.5hrs labour or there abouts-so about £75 a side. I'm booking mine in soon as I only have one side clicking. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Unfortunately no long term gains to be had with grease and rotate. Nissan introduced this as a scam to get the cars out of warranty and then sell you new drive shafts or kits at a later date. The upgraded kits that I have available are claimed to eliminate the clicking for good. Alex. Quote
