ThyJones Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi Guys, I know this is a common problem, seen the FAQ, and the following info: " Rear axle clicking noise. Sounds like something left underneath. Usually does it when shifting from reverse to forward or initial load when moving off. This is caused by the driveshafts. Due to the work involved make sure the price reflects this if the car is not covered under warranty. You can read the bulletin at http://www350z-tech.com/zwiki/service:t ... _Rear_Axle Gearchange can get a bit notchy in 4th and 6th if thrashed or neglected. " I cant get the link to work, anyone else got a link? My car is covered by warranty, didnt hear the noise on test, but hear it again now and again... whats actually involved in sorting this problem out, and how much is the cost likely to be? As mentioned, under warranty, but interested nethertheless. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It is the CV joints. Usually the garage just grease and turn I believe but you can get them sorted for good. Zmanalex can provide replacements that will get rid of the problem. They are not a problem just something that can be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhyndi Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I work in a car dealership (one of ours is nissan) - had the same problem on mine. take the drive shafts out, grease the end of them, turn them 180 degrees and stick them back in. took the master tech about 3/4 of an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
