constant clicking from REAR not FRONT of car. Please help.

Hi guys, I have used the search feature and found many thread about a clicking noise from the front of the car but I cant find anything about my problem.

Currently I have 20” wheels on my car and I am lowered on tein s-tech springs. No other suspension upgrades. When I am rolling at slow speeds I can hear a constant clicking from my REAR wheel area. And when I go over cracks in the road I clearly here the clicking from the rear. Any clue what that is?

Sounds like the clicking axle problem to me, when I had it the sound came from the rear. It's a simple fix apparently.

I got it fixed under warranty, if your car is still under warranty you can do the same. If not then you're gonna have to pay...

btw thanks for your help guys. I guess i wasnt searching the right term and when you used the term axle, i searched axle click and saw a bunch of postings. i am hoping its that but either case i doubt they will fix it under warranty because im lowered. any thoughts?

again, does anyone know if its dangerous to leave it alone? Thanks

Your springs and rims will not make this happen to the car... g35 s techs do not even drop the car very low so they may not even notice... i would try taking it to tustin infiniti to have it fixed... as longs as the service advisor isnt a douche or ***, you should be ok with taking it in.

It doesn't really harm anything. Your axle's bearings are clicking. They have to take apart the axle to fix it.
