370z Axle Click Fix | Common Issue 

I just finished fixing the clicking noise on my Infiniti FX35 Sport. I did it the exact procedure Nissan/Infiniti recommends. They recommend to use the same lock nut and same washer. You only need new cotter pins and Brake Caliper Grease which contains the Moly M77 material. It cost me $11 to fix it and it runs like brand new. You can do it yourself. Don't hesitate!

Thanks man... i've been fighting this issue for about 4 years now. Finally I wont be annoyed by that clicking sound. Cheers from Croatia!

Life saver! I almost traded in my G37 because I’m having this same issue, very annoying. Watched these videos and immediately ordered the parts. Thanks!

I f***ing love how you showed a quick way to diagnose it by rocking the car in the beginning and gave the parts numbers in the description. I was getting ready to throw my whole car away before getting robbed by the dealership since the noise was driving me crazy. You probably have years of Karma from this one video, thank you so much man! As for Jacks I bought the Harbor Freit 3 ton LOW PROFILE jack for about $150. I've had it for 4 years and love it. My only regret is not dishing out the extra $50 for the one that was LOW PROFILE & LONG REACH. After lowering the care It can't reach the front jacking point so im forced to rack up one side at a time and it's such a hassle.

Hey Drew ! Awesome 👌 370Z! I just subscribed to your channel! Thanx for the tips! I'll be buying my 1st 370Z soon.

I have been hearing this noise for a few months and just happend to see your video and am so glad. thanks a ton. I post my 370z street drifting content if you are interested? Im now subscribed :)

Hey man, any way you could do a list of the tools you used to remove it all, size wise and such

Having the same issue with mine but I thought it was the axles completely was about to buy some new ones to install them but now seeing this video thinking of trying this first

Hey will these parts also work with my 350z?

Great vid man! If you mind me asking what are the wheel and tire specs for the rear?

what is your wheel set up? (those are nice)

Can u put a link where u found the Nissan spring washer plz

Nice vid ! Question, I also have this issue with my infiniti m35h, did you have any driving issues, like the vehicle hesitating to change the gear before the fix ?

Nice video man appreciated!!! I have a similar issue with my 370z I am gona do that also. I just want to know which type/model of Michelin tires you have on your 370z, are they quite on the road?

so i have the same problem with my 350z. hearing a click/clunk with slow speed acceleration/deceleration. i thought it was my rear diff bushing since it has been blown forever. i fixed the bushing issue and now the clicking is even louder! i was very discouraged. im hoping this is the issue and the noise will be fixed!

I hear a clunk noise every time I shift gears to reverse, 1st gear, 2nd gear, and sometimes 3rd gear but idk if my axels are messed up or if I have a bad tranny

just found this video thank god. i just noticed that click every time i shift to reverse and cat start to roll and vice versa on my 2016 QX50 and it was driving me crazy. Where can i get those Kawasaki nuts?

The plastic you are trying to fix go to northern tool or harbor fright and get a plastic welding kit after you clean the paint off you can weld it back together and then sand and repaint it

so brake caliper grease will do the trick? whats size of wrench to take the bolt off?

Would the castle nut that you put in the description also work on a 2012 g37x?

Hey, thank you for the video!!! Is this sound only when you step on the gas or lift it?? Since today my 370z makes ticking-noises. It sounds exaclty like a little stone in the tire....is this the same issue or another one?

So I just got a manual 2013 370z but I noticed it clickes when I take off, when I go from 1st to 2nd, when I reverse and when I down shift, tried moving my wheels like you did but didn’t hear the clicking lol

no power tools ?

I’m hearing a clunking noise on my Z that sounds like it’s coming from rear axel. I do have this axel click problem as well.. so I’m not sure if the click transformed into clunking now, or if it’s my rear diff bushing

You need axle spacers bruhh!!! I put some on my 350z and it helped a lot no more cracking noise o when I turn slow. My car is on bc racing coils on the extreme low and I got 10mm spacers

Where did you get the Pro Bolt LSSNUT24150001Z2BK i searched in Amazon but it's not there ? thanks,

Hey, do you know where I can get the PRO BOLT? It seems discontinued in every site I look

I got the same problem on my gtr and i fix it like that

My 370z is clicking when i shift from anything to reverse and also when im slowing down coming to a stop it makes a click aswell.. mechanic said greasing it up will fix the issue i hope it does and that it isn’t anything major because other than that the car drives good it doesn’t click while making turns so i guess thats a good thing right

Where can I get that pro bolt,since the kawasaki axle nut is to short ?as you explained

How many ft pounds on the torque wrench?

Can’t you also use your existing spring washers and save some money and just buy 4, 2 for each side plus your original?

What size socket did you use to tighten and torque down the new axle nut? Is it 1-1/4?

How’s it holding up ?

I did this and the clicking came back after about a month. Anybody find a real solution? Not just a bandaid.

Would you need to do the front as well or it’s different

I’m starting to believe it’s the 19 inch rims that have this issue. My 2010 came with 18s and I never had this issue.

What’s the grease/lubricant you used

Flex seal ?

For 6 more blots you could have taken the whole axle out , but , i like where your go’in with this , that Kawasaki bolt comes off motor cycle or what , i’m go’in to order a grade 10.8 castle nut with the washers at 10.8 or better , i’ve seen other shows where they used blue locktite , wouldn’t use red , but if you did , it wouldn’t ever move , right

4 washer each side!

The funny story I have the same problem but with my Nissan leaf 2021Mk2 😆

Omg you should try buffing my car someday

why not just rebend the nut sleeve and just retorque the axle nut? and do that as part of maintenance every few years .
