ddcboyle Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I know these problems are hard to fix over web if u cant hear it, But theres a noise coming from the rear passenger side wheel area. When i put it into first and drive forward it clicks a few times, then stops, until i put into reverse and drive, then clicks a bit more. I thought it might have been something to do with steering but seems to be from the rear. Any ideas? Quote

ddcboyle Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Ah Thanks for link Not sure if id be able to do the job myself as i have no idea what half the component parts hes talking about are, but ill take wheel off, compare photos and see if i can see what hes on about. If not, garage and just tell em what to do to it Quote
narcotix Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 It's a really common problem .. I've had it on my Zed since I first got it but I don't even notice it these days ... It's not a major job to repair but replacement CV joints aren't cheap ... Quote
ddcboyle Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 If its not repaired, will it do damage to car or anything? Or is it just a click that stays forever? Quote
S1 HNK Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Pretty sure it causes no damage. Had it on my previous zed and never bothered fixing it as there was no definitive fix Quote
taffyjason Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 i have it on mine, tried all the 'easy' fixes, i'll just have to settle for a new kit from Zaman Alex Quote

Siman350z Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 i have it on mine, tried all the 'easy' fixes, i'll just have to settle for a new kit from Zaman Alex Did you try greasing the collar as per the sticky thread on here? Going into Japex next week to get it greased but thought this was a permenant fix from the stories. Quote
taffyjason Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 yeah i tried greasing the splines and packing the CV boot with more grease, its back to normal clicking now Quote
