Clicking sounds at my wheels??

This clicking only happens at low gears. Basically when i'm starting in first, i hear a couple clicks once i get going then when i shift to second and get a couple clicks as well.

the clicks:
- sounds like a high-pitched version of when you make clicking sounds with your tongue against the inside of your teeth
- not persistent
- maybe it's the brakes?

anyone experience this?

my car specs are listed on my profile but it's a '03 g35c w/ brembo brakes (replaced the rear rotors and brake pads 8/24/2011)

THANKS!!

Let me trim the video down and post it on here.

It's your axel clicking. You need to take it out clean it and grease it and put it back in. Problem solved

here's a very short video of the clicking sound. it occurs at :04. I have a feeling it's just the brakes. Are brembos known for this?

sounds like the axle click to me. should only be coming from the rear wheels. the link I posted earlier is a complete DIY on how to resolve it.

110% sure it's your axel. Mine did it also it's an easy fix. If you're handy do it your self. Take out both rear axels clean n grease it up and put it back it. That'll problly cost u 20 if DIY. If you want to take it to a dealer ship your looking at $100+

Goodluck to ya! shouldnt be too hard. I used Valvoline SynPower Synthetic Grease which can found at most local auto stores. Fixed mine about a year ago and still no more clicking.

thanks to all! i just fixed it with my pops! no more clicking!

it turned out to be the rear L axle. the hardest part was removing the axle. but i lavishly lathered it with Mobil1 Synthetic Grease (~$8). thanks for everything! cheers!
