Distinct Drivetrain Clicking Noise

bilo · 04-02-2010, 07:25 PM

Take it to the dealer and have them fix it. THis happend to me around the same milage. Basically it has to do with the axles and differential. They had to open the diffferential and have it lubricated and turn the axles 180 degrees. Install new codder pins and a few other hardware. BUT WOW! After this maintenance was done I felt what my car could do for the first time. It was more reponsive. Off the line it didnt feel like the VDC enganged as early. Check the nissan-techinfo.com under trans/axle clicking noise as well. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! Would you say that this is something that needs to be done immediately?

The half shafts need to be re greased. Mine went "dry" at about 25k or so. They will need to keep you car most of the day, its a special grease that they have to order though.

Would explain why it sounds like its coming from the rear. So mine could be going dry at 20k. This should all be under warranty right?
