Anyways the looked out of place on a 60k mile vehicle.

1. Rear axle clicking noise

Very common on 09-10 model. All you need to do is grease the axle shafts and re-torque both axle nuts.

Rear End Noise

2.

Dealers always forget to take those spacers off of Nismos. The axle click is pretty well known.

Not to mention I had 120k on my 350z when I sold it, it was pure abuse from myself and the previous owner, the design is solid, you'll have a few bad eggs here and there, welcome to mass production of products.

Never forget we aligned an s2k one time because the owner said it handled funny, he had just bought it used from ohio, guess what was in the springs...not only the PDI dealer missed it, the dealer that sold it as well...hilarious.
