I have the rear axle click I think several people have, m 05 with 50K just started doing it...sucs that its just over a month after the basic warranty expired. So now to get them to look at it will cost a $100 and if its something like re-greasing it then it will be about $230 total. They tell me that re-greasing is not covered by the powertrain warranty the car still has. So if they click fix is just to regrease it, is that something I can do on own?

Can it be something more serious that powertrain would cover? Is greasing it just a short term fix?

I have a stillen exhaust, do I need to put oem back on before I left them see the car, I dont want them to say that it voids my remaining powertrain warantly or some BS like that..what you guys think?

 

from what I was told, it is not something we can do on our won as they have to replace bolts.
on the bright side, it is a sound issue only, and shouldn't cause any technical issues.

 

Thanks, I have a stillen exhaust, do I need to put oem back on before I left them see the car, I dont want them to say that it voids my remaining powertrain warantly or some BS like that..what you guys think?

 

hah. i have same exhaust too..
I am not taking it off.


by Moss's pact, they can't void warranty due to an aftermarket exhaust, unless that exhaust is causing a problem.

 

Whats Moss's pact mean?

weird, my dealership did this work under the powertrain, as my basic warranty had expired

bring in the TSB maybe

 

I cant find the TSB, does someone know where I can find it?

you gotta register to view it, but that's the one

 

You can do it yourself. There is a DIY on my350z.com I will be performing this on a car in the next few weeks.

Try another dealership. I complained of axle clicking at around 90k miles (i now have 100k) and a dealership I went to said they would take care of it free of charge. Unfortunately the clicking was more of a knocking and it turned out to be a bad endlink, which was not a TSB. But they were willing to do the axle click for free. It may be covered under the powertrain warranty as the previous poster said?

 

thanks for the post! my right side had the clicking noise and now my left side has it too and its been annoying the hell out of me lately!!! printing out the tsb and taking to the dealer this saturday, hopefully theyll do it for free...

EDIT: OKAY so i just called the dealers around my area and they told me that since im out of warranty, they would charge $400 to fix it... ahh bs

You can do it yourself. I found all the necessary info in there and should be doing it in a week.
