hey guys

i have this annoying maybe serious problem. when i make a left turn i hear this weird clanking sound coming from the rear drivers side. Its much more noticable when i first take the car out and less noticable the longer i drive it.

Has anyone here experienced this and know what it could be? im planning to take it to the dealership to get checked out but hope its nothing major.

 

what year is it? a clicking noise could be the mechanical limited slip diff or it could be a loose axle. The dealer should be able to diagnose it.

if its any of those mentioned should i not drive the car anywhere? the dealer wont be able to look at it until next fri =(

 

I'm not sure if the 04's had the mechanical LSD or the viscous one. If it is the diff, it is normal. But you probably have a loose axle so they will have to tighten up the mounting brackets. Check out the TSB listings at http://www.infinitihelp.com/Ownershi...5/Diagnose.htm

 

My car is an 05 and has that ticking noise from the rear when macking a left turn, but only when i am doing so and going over bumps in the road. Go figure

It may be something serious that the dealer can help with, but first check the trunk for any loose tools or spare etc.
