Thanks for reading this.. I did search through the forum and could not find anything on this particular issue so I started this new thread. If I missed something just let me know all in caps or something...thanks. I just installed a K&N 697080TP on my wifes 2003 coupe 6m. A little bit of work but sounds great. The instructions have you take the wheel off and undo some bolts and pull down the valance in front of the tire. After I was all finished and was driving around the parking lot I can clearly hear a noise that sounds like a click when you tap on the gas and again when you let off the gas, going 3 mph or going 20 mph. I tightened the wheel nuts back fairly tight (as much as they were before I loosened them) Every component of the intake is tight and snug. I can't seem to figure out what it is. I took the wheel back off and retightened it, still no help. It really sounds like it's coming from the wheel, but I am no mechanic. Has anyone else had this same problem? Did I tighten the wheel nuts too tight? Or is there something that I am missing...Thanks in advance, any suggestions are appreciated.

 

could it be that clicking noise from the rear axle?

 

damn sure is from the rear...sounded like front to me...had my wife drive by me and the noise is from rear....I will search this site for info.

 

lot of people with 03 seem to have the same noise, if its from the rear. Good luck.

Just a thought, Maybe you forgot to put the upper cover on correctly.

 

its not just 03. all the g35s do this. ther's a tsb. dealer will take care of it. have the dealer do both left and right, even if its only on one side.
