Help I think I've done somthing expensive

[nissanman312]

I started noticing a clicking noise I thought it was brakes but if I put it in gear and rock the car I get the noise .

Take it out of gear and and noise stops it from both rear wheels and sounds the same both sides .

 

 

 

Could the hairpins of the alps cooked my diff

 

 

Just waiting for slow bucket to display my vidio

sounds to me like a clicking rear axle, very common fault on the zed and an easy fix. I think its the rear C.V. joints but i could be mistaken.

[nissanman312]

Just waiting for video to upload so you can get a clear idea

[Humpy]

Click rear axle is my bet. Had a clicky rear axle for about 3 years now

[Ekona]

Clicky clicky

[nissanman312]

It's more of a clonk than a click when driving

Not sure you are allowed to say this any more

[Darren-B]

Hate to say it but it sounds a little more sinister than a clicky drive shaft

[a2orry]

Check the prop shaft joints especially the one at the diff.

What you thinking Daz

I had a nasty feeling it was

[Bodyboarder81]

I really hoping it's just a clicks axle for you dude ... But that's quite a noise

It sounds expensive don't it

[Ebized]

First I have heard of the clicky axle issue on 370's........

[ioneabee]

just a stab in the dark (me being no way mechanical minded) but that sound like the piece of metal above/around the brakes touching something - as I say just a guess

[Ebized]

Hmmmmm....... does sound more like a diff issue to me in that vid

[ZEUS]

Ooh that doesn't sound good, more of a clunk of something broken.

[nissanman312]

I think powering out of hair pins chasing Evo's and Gtrs could of done it

 

In going on the ramp satarday so hopefully I'll be able to diognose it

Just been watching some drive shaft video on here http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-warranty-scheduled-maintenance-servicing-repairs/100841-rear-differential-clunk.html

 

Buy I think mine could be worse I'll keep you guys posted .

Remember is running more power now

it doesn't sound like the clicky axles I've heard before, that sounds more of a clang ! it sounds external rather than internal to me

[nissanman312]

I've done my best to get under it just can't see what it is

My friend runs a garage so I can get it in the air satarday and have a play

 

It will be the most expensive thing naturally lol

 

It sounds like diff but until it's in the air it's hard to tell

[nissanman312]

At least I'll have an excuse to get the quaife

 

[nissanman312]

Overly worn out bearings tend to make a howling noise when they do not properly support the gears. Rumbling while turning, on the other hand, is a sign of bad wheel bearings. Clunking and banging noises on the corners can be due to lack of sufficient posi-traction lubrication, broken spider gears, or worn posi-traction or limited-slip clutches. Broken spider gears, moreover, can also immobilize the differential and create a loud, crunching sound during final departure. If the rear differential noise is characterized by clunking every two or three feet, then there is a great chance that a broken ring gear is the problem with the section with the broken teeth banging or grinding as it tries to engage the pinion.

 

Having a chipped or missing high spot on a gear tooth sounds closely similar to a broken gear except that the rear differential noise only happens while accelerating or decelerating. This is because the problem is just present on one side of the offending tooth. This rear differential noise is described as a heavy clicking type of sound which occurs every eight feet or so. If the pinion is the one that has a high spot, the noise occurs every two or three feet and is much more pronounced because of its higher frequency.

 

Dont fill me with hope

[NWZ]

Definitely not clicky axle it has a different sound.

[nissanman312]

I'm fearing the worst on this one lol

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Doesn't sound like wheel bearing, sounds like diff to me, too. Drain it, open it, check the damage and post some photos in here If damaged, time for Quaife.
