Rear End Clicking
 

I know this has been discussed before in other threads, but I'm starting a fresh one to document my experience for everyone else. A few weeks ago I began noticing a clicking from the rear end when making slow turns in my parking garage. The sound is very similar to a tire with a nail in it slowing rotating and the nail contacting the ground. However the sound is quite a bit louder and I hear multiple clicks for every rotation of the tires. It's annoying enough that I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning. There are many threads about the 350Z requiring a removal, greasing, and reinstallation of the half-shafts. My dealer said he didn't think it's an issue with the 370Z but admitted they don't have enough 370Zs to really know if it's a problem. We'll see what they say tomorrow and I'll report back.

Turns out it was a wheel spacer. Dealer noticed a high spot on one of the H&R spacers that allowed it to shift slightly and knock on the studs. These H&R spacers are pretty disappointing.

Hey can you elaborate on this. I got the same proble.. what was the solution?

He probably just got rid of those spacers or exchanged them for some that weren't defective. He's also not terribly active on the forum any more (this thread is four years old).
