FIXED: Rear axle click clunk noise

Zyonara91 · 04-22-2020, 05:12 PM

Have to carry this out on my Z once the quarantine is over.

Wanted to ask, could I use Permatex Copper anti-sieze instead of the Moly 77 or any other grease? Also when applying the lubrication, is it okay if apply it on the bolt on which the castle nut tightens onto or would that mess with torque specs etc?

I would obviously grease the splines of the axles when the nut is removed, just wanted everyones 2cents, cheers.

There is different torque spec's. A Dry spec, and a Wet spec. About 95% of the time. It's a Dry spec that gets used. A Dry spec is no grease, oil, or any lube is used. A Wet spec is where some type of lubricant is used. It will spec what type of lube and where area it is applied to. It could be on the threads only, or under the head of the or washer.

So, read the manual.
