Rear End Noise

bilo · 11-11-2009, 11:18 PM

I took my 370 in last week for the third time for this. turns out nissan has put out a bulletin on the rear axles. Diff needs to be opend and axles need to be greased. then rotated 180 degrees and have everything installed and torqued. there are some new parts invloved but they are jsut washers and coder pins. its all under warranty. My car feels soo good now. more responsive at low gears and NO MORE CLICKING SOUND! also i got to put 1000 miles on a brand new loner altima in a week. LoL

This was very common on the 350's, and there was also a TSB for it which details the same solution mentioned. It's a little concerning to see the same issues on the next gen Z car when this issue was first addressed in 2003.

I think it's more or less the same differential so I'm not surprised that people are having the same issue. I had the click problem on the G35, it was a very common issue with the G35 and 350Z.
