veeg33 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Not sure my symptoms are similar to the common issue (as stated in the how to solve rear clicking discussion) but before I grease it, would be great if anyone else had similar issue that needs something else to be replaced or grease. My observations: No clicking when I drive off right after I started the engine. Clicking sound only if I move off quick ish and immediately lift of my foot from the accelerator and clutch fully engaged in parallel. (hope this makes sense). After driving a good few miles (or more), if I did the same as above, I can hear the clicking noise. Possible causes that I can think of: 1.) Rear axle - grease as suggested in the 'how to' section? 2.) Rear LSD mount/bush degraded - replacement required? All advice is much appreciated. Hope to get all required parts and get them sorted in one go but one could argue only sort out one at a time so that you know what is the root cause. My LSD mount has a leak, is this the issue?

Steel Lynx Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Check your tyres too. I had a clicking noise on mine that I thought was from the rear. Turned out to be one of the steel cables in my front offside tyre. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/75832-unknown-noise/ Thought I had some pictures on there too but I can't find those now.
