Dave_the_Rave Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hello all When rolling I hear a clicking from my rear wheel area, I don't think its the typical axle/ drive shaft click I've just had my hand brake adjusted by a garage.. So my question is when the rear wheels are off the ground in neutral with the hand brake off should they spin fairly freely similar to the front?

JetSet Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So my question is when the rear wheels are off the ground in neutral with the hand brake off should they spin fairly freely similar to the front? Yes, they should spin freely, had my wheels off several times and they've always rotated fine. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2orry Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 you will feel slight resistance through the diff if you spin the rear wheels.sounds like it might be over adjusted at the hand brake shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob63 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 As above, they will turn with some slight resistance and not 'freely' like the fronts. Raise the wheels, put 1 click on the handbrake and see or feel if the resistance is increased. I doubt that an over tight handbrake would induce clicking, stone in tyre might though.

Yes, they should spin freely, had my wheels off several times and they've always rotated fine. Pete Hey guys, I have a question about this kind of topic... Can somebody please check my video and tell if this is fine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hveLucsT9Ho This is on the rear left side (with the right wheel on the ground) and I'm trying to spin the disc as hard as I can! The grinding sound is not coming from the hand brake tho, but from the pads. It seems strange to me that it's blocking so much and that you say that it should spin freely, because when outside the car and in neutral, the car doesn't feel heavy to push with hands (my previous golf5 gti had more resistance) and even if I'm on a slight incline, the car starts to move. Also after driving on the highway if I coast and stop without using the brakes, the discs are not hot. So is this fine or there shouldn't be any grinding at all? Thanks for any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteman35 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) 350z has a lsd. If you are spinning the wheel with the other one on the ground. You are spinning all the gears in the diff, with both wheels off. When you spin one the other will spin making it less resistance. had another listen on pc... Thats normal its just the pad up against the disc, nothing to worry about Edited September 13, 2013 by peteman35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolzz Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ok, thanks. I just wasn't sure, because JetSet above said the wheel should spin freely and that in my case is far from freely as I'm trying quite hard to even rotate the disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah you're fighting against the lsd with one rear wheel on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
