Hey guys, I just started noticing this clicking like sound from where my back seats are. I took the back seats and it went even louder. Its hard to explain, I have a video but you can barely hear anything because of the road noise. It seems like the sound is coming from under where the seat would lay.... The clicking like sound only happens when the car is in motion....any ideas.... this car is starting to suck with all the problems!!!


You can barely start to hear the sound towards the end of the video



(Its in .mov format or quicktime sorry but when I converted it lost more quality)

 

I will see if I can get a better sound clip

 

^I can't hear anything. Sorry

 

Sounds like the rear axle clicking problem. I think there's a TSB for it.

 

I searched an searched

do you guys think this is it?

Yup, that's the one I was looking for.

 

Sweet!!! That shouldnt be too bad to fix then

 

Ironic - my 05 sedan is spending the night at the dealer for this problem. The heard the noise and are trying to diagnose the problem. I'll give them this 1st thing in the morning. They really hate when I do this!

 

haha ya that should cut some time away from not having your car

 

I had a creaking/clicking noise issue w/ my car a while ago & ended up diagnosing it/fixing it myself. Sound came directly from behind the rear seats. It turns out the steel diagonal cross bracing behind the seats was loose....several of the nuts weren't even tight!!! Tightened them up & I was good to go.

My sounds were only evident when driving slow, over bumps/uneven roads though.....

 

thats good to know, mine happens right when I hit the gas pedal and it goes to a faster clicking like noise. I hope that will be a quick fix!

 

That doesn't sound like the axle click. I'm no expert on this subject but from what I know, the axle click is more of a couple clicks when taking off or changing speeds but always at low speed and change of rotational momentum. I believe I am experiencing it right now on mine.

 

the video doesnt show the sound much. But when I go faster in the car the clicking noise goes faster and faster and a little louder as well. There was so much road noise it didnt pick much up

 

Well if yours is a direct result of speed, then definitely not the rear support. Maybe you have a rock in your tire!!!!!!

 

That happened to me, only it was an interior nut that had come off the valve stem. There were two nuts on valve stem inside the tire, the outer one came loose and dropped into the wheel. As I drove slow, I heard this clicking that drove me crazy. At higher speeds, the nut was kept against the tire. Took it to the Stealership, and they cahrged me more than $100 to tell me the sound was coming from within the tire.
