Okay, when ever I reverse into a bump or go over a bump at lower speeds, there is a clicking noise that comes from the right rear of my car (06 G35 coupe). I was thinking that it might be the strut mount. Anyways, anyone might happen to know how to fix this annoying cliking noise.

 

I have the same problem.. Some people say the axle needs to be dissembled and greased.

 

go to Infiniti and they should fix this for free .. I had the axle click too (if that's what you have) and I went right to the dealer .. took them about 30-45 mins and they regreased everything with a heavily grade grease (molykote I believe) and I haven't heard a noise since .. good luck

 

how would i know its the axle , also why would infiniti do it 4 free

 

I would love to know the same... Tell us how?????

 

^This problem is one of the TSB's. If you are still under warranty, a dealership will fix it for free.

 

Ya, only if your on warranty. I had the same problem- i wasnt under warranty so i sent them out to get rebuilt and they performed like new. Its the axles for sure- you can tell because when weight/force is put on them, the noise will come up.

 

Okay cool....

 

if you're friends with the dealership and have done business with them they might do it as a curtesy even if you're out of warranty (happened to a friend of mine) .. pretty simple fix and doesn't really cost them anything .. if anything they gain customer loyalty by fixing issues and not being *** about it but watch out for the scammers because I had a dealership try to charge ME $120 to lube the axles .. I called another dealership who laughed and said to bring it in for free .. needless to say I found which dealership I'll be sticking with from now on .. good luck !!

 

I actaully just came from Infiniti this morning. They told me that if the clicking is going on when at somewhat low speeds, then to solve it would be to repack the axle with grease and torque to spec. Although the clicking noise I experience is when going over bumps. They told me that doing the work might not solve it in this case, I really did not want to pay the 125 for the inspection. If anyone knows what the heck this is that would be great!!! Thanks !

 

I would suggest getting them greased up if not rebuilt. I don't know why you hear it on bumps but its not going to hurt to grease up. After you do the axles see if the noise still comes up on bumps, and if so, then you know there is something extra that needs to be fixed as well. Hopefully that's not the case.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. I will try to grease and re-torque the rear axles and go from there. Again thanks!!!

Sounds like axle click to me as well. I echo those that say to call around and see if a dealer will hook it up for free. If no, grab a buddy and hit the DIY above.

Had mine done some time ago. Noise drove me nuts.

 

Axle click. Very common problem in 5AT's.
