FIXED: Rear axle click clunk noise

Literally takes 40 mins to do. Get the Kawasaki Axle nuts from "Snow, City Marine" in Scarborough (call them first), the part numbers are listed in this thread already in the beginning. I also recommend getting SIX new washers (three per each side that go behind the axle nut), do not re use the old washers that are behind the original nut when you take it off.

Cotter pins? Get four, in case you mess one them up or do not like how you bent it to retain the nut. Make sure when you torque the nut you do 85lbs, you may have to torque it more to get the holes to align, but that's alright. Once aligned, slip the cotter pin in and use a hammer to bonk the top to get it down as much as possible THEN bend long portion of the pin.

I used the e-brake to lock the rear wheels, but make sure you secure the front wheels with a chauk. If you do not want to torque in the "air" then what you should do is remove the centre cap from the rear tires, mount them, lug nuts on, put the car down, then torque and then jack the car back up, remove wheels and slip in the cotter pins. Though torquing it to 85lbs in the air was no issue.

My gf at the time always said I spend to much time on the car and that I was obsessed with it. I'm a stickler for doing things rights and treating everything I own with respect because ultimately its a reflection of who I am as a person. Working on my car is a stress reliever and any woman who complains and criticizes you about your hobbies should be shown one thing and one thing only and that's the door.
