I've never measured them but they look to be the same (only difference would be the length, if any). I have a set of "coupe" 6MT axles at home. I'll measure both when I get under the car for a nap this weekend (if I get the time to work on my car)

 

I bought my 05 sedan (AT) earlier this November with 61k miles. I have the infamous axle click. Anyone know if the car is out of warranty if the dealer will cover it?

 

My dealer wouldn't. Took my car in with 70189 miles and they denied me. Worse yet, they quoted me $360 to fix both sides, wish I had what they were smoking.

 

^ You live in Austin - go hit up a few of those college co-eds for some.

Win-win!

 

lol you so funny Peter, unfortunately I quit the hippie lettuce many, many years ago. Still think about it from time to time though, I won't lie.

 

take a copy of the TSB and ask them to... when TSB's are created, it's indicative of a problem that they didnt expect to exist and for good customer relations they should fix (dealer can bill Infinti to cover their labor)...

If dealer refuses, call Infiniti Consumer Affairs and see if they can intervene. It's just a few bolts and some grease - but without a lift its not worth doing on your own (imo).

 

I'll def. try this approach. Thank you!

 

I had the same issue with my 05 AT G35x my extended warranty covered it in the tune of $2000 luckily.

 

Ha, I thought this was common knowledge. Mine got it around 60K and I fixed it myself following the TSB instructions.

Also, TSB's are not fixed for free if you are out of warranty unless your dealer is just trying to build some goodwill so you will buy a car from them in the future.

 

$2000!? WTF!? I could do it in an hour or two if I had to again.

 

until this thread there hasnt been many (if any) reports of AT/Sedan... most are coupe (and MT iirc).

And yes, as stated - many dealers will perform services with TSB (even if out of warranty) as goodwill, Tustin did years ago on my car (I cant even remember what it was).

 

Myself and BlueDream both posted in an axle click thread well over a year ago so I assumed it was a common problem.

You must have a better dealer than me then. I had to argue just to get something fixed under my extended warranty once.

 

Yep you're right. I assumed back then it was fairly common on all first gen Gs.

 

I had mine fixed by the dealer in my '04 Automatic at about 50k miles a few years ago. I was still under warranty so it wasn't an issue.
