nissanman312 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) 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 .

350 Russ Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hate to say it but it sounds a little more sinister than a clicky drive shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 First I have heard of the clicky axle issue on 370's........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hmmmmm....... does sound more like a diff issue to me in that vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) 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 .

GIXXERUK Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 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.

NWZ Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Definitely not clicky axle it has a different sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
