Clicking in rear - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I've been having issues with the rear of my car having noises. I changed out the open diff to a J30 and checked all of my subframe bushings while I was at it and everything seemed in order. Anyways when I'm driving it will seem like a grinding sort of noise and when I slow down it sounds rotational from my passenger rear and when I get out and physically push my car back and forth it will make a clicking noise. It seems the clicking is heat related because it will not click when I push it without driving it around the block. I don't think it is a hub because I won't hear it on the highway and it will make noise when I let off the gas or coasting to a stop.

*Car was making noise before changing out diff's as well just want to clarify*

What condition are the rear brake pads in? do you have all the appropriate brake pad clips?

Scratchoz · 10-20-2014, 06:05 PM

The pads are pretty worn and I actually ordered some news ones today. It's not missing any bracket or clips.

It's one of your axles or hubs. One of the CV joints is going bad and/or a wheel bearing is shot. Time to replace one or both of them.

Agree to this.mainly leaning toward the axels being bad since this is common to axels goin out

Scratchoz · 10-21-2014, 02:59 AM

The hub is actually new. I was thinking maybe an axle since that's one of the only things I haven't replaced yet. Plus I think it might be an original. Will an axle out of a J30 work? Cause I believe the J30 I pulled the diff out of is still at the junkyard, or would is just be worth my time to get a brand new one?

J30 axles will work. However, they could be bad or not, it's a gamble. I personally would put new ones in, but that's how my brain works. My car is by no means my daily either.

Scratchoz · 10-21-2014, 02:40 PM

Yeah I shouldn't cut corners since it is my daily and don't want to be stuck on the side of the road from a faulty junkyard axle. Do it right the first time I suppose. Thanks everyone for your input.
