installed spacers last night on my rear. idk if this is a good thing but i jacked it up from the bottom of where spring sits, were the springmount is. there is one on each side and i jacked it up from both places for each. installed my spacers but since i didnt have a torque wrench i wasnt able to tighten them to spec. drove home and everything seemed fine but as i was pulling into my driveway, i started hearing like a click? or tapping. no vibration, car drives like how it did before, just some stupid noise from my rear! i plan to remove my spacers tomorrow and check if the noise has stopped, just wondering if you guys knw what this noise was. ive heard of the infamous axle click, i dont wanna believe this is it/:

the two blurred out dots on the rear of the car is where i jacked my car up from


heres a vid of the clicking

^^?

 

 

just did, downloaded the format, i def cant do that by myself. and i really dont wanna take it to a dealership/: is the noise on the vid the axle click though?

 

seriously just google it

thescreensavers right u do have a case of axle clicking

 

Go buy a torque wrench and reinstall them!!!

 

yo shane, i was actually going to hit u up, i know you do basic installs, you think youd be able to fix this if noise still occurs without spacers?

 

It would appear so, when I am over a totally flat floor, ie parking garage, or my house garage, I can hear it pulling out, but its not 100% every time from a standstill though. And it seems to only happen when its cold and been sitting.

And the TSB described it as a clicking sound from a standstill, which is what mine and the OP's issue is almost 90% sure.

 

yeep^^ and it only got louder today as i was stopping at lights, i can hear the tapping and clicking in the rear. going to take off spacers tomorrow and see if maybe it was the wheel tapping or something since i didnt torque it down with torque wrench.

 

btw, i also read that you get this click bcuz u messed with the axle or raised it or something? are the two places where i jacked my car up a safe point? could that have caused the clicking?
