noise from rear...

[webbtay]

Hi,

 

I've just bought a 2005 350z that has done 24K miles. took it for the first spin this evening and noticed when I had the windows down (should have done this on the test drive ) a noise from the rear around where the wheels are - think it was on both sides. It happened mainly when i took my foot off and the car slowed a bit as the revs dropped, the slight jerking of this caused the sound. Similar thing while accelerating. It doesn't happen over bumps etc, so don't think it's suspension. The noise is a plasticky clicky/scrappy noise kind of like a twig is caught under the wheel arch (yes, I checked and there are no twigs!).

 

I'm getting it serviced Oct but wondered if anyone had come across this?

 

Thanks

pretty sure its the clicky axle, abbey motorsport said it should be a case of cleaning/regreasing the CV joints and rotating 180 degs. its a cheap fix so if it lasts a couple of years i'm happy
