FIXED: Rear axle click clunk noise

markesc · 05-24-2026, 10:22 AM

Yeap - Mine has been doing it for years!!

I think my only last items needed are grease + a large enough socket...

Any suggestions?

I'm leaning on:

Permatex 80078 1/2 Pint Anti-Seize Lubricant

Socket - Can I roll with a 1 1/4" or 32mm??? (I ask as the popular video mentions 1 1/4") - I'm thinking longer socket to give plenty of room...

or am I just an idiot and 1 1/4" is exactly 32mm?

Of course I was told by the dealer that he’s never heard of it happening in 370s.
THAT’s BECAUSE THOSE OF US WITH Zs KNOW NISSAN ISN’T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, SO WE JUST FIX IT OURSELVES.
