Having an issue with a clicking noise from the rear of the car. A single click while moving forward, or reverse. I got some work done at Evasive Motorsports recently and was recommend axle spacers bcuz my car is lowered on coilovers.

I apologize. I thought for sure i put this on Under The Hood. Please move thread.

I had a similar sound and foolishly waited until my axle snapped to get it addressed. Certainly check your axle nut after removing the wheel. Get it torqued to spec

There is a TSB floating around here somewhere about this. You should do a search. Same thing happened to me a while back. IIRC after unstaking and removing the axle nut you also need Dow Corning 111 grease to lube the hub (I think) reinstall the axle nut to a specific torque spec and restake the nut. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

TheSilentSK

Oh no. That's unfortunate. How did sound b4 the axle gave out? I hope i caught it early.

TheSilentSK

I did do a search. Pretty much indicated what you said. I would like to do the work myself. What tools do i need to make the job easier. I don't mean to be lazy on my search. Just making sure i get a similar answer from you fine folks that have actually done the work and fixed this problem.

Congratulations on doing a search. What did you find in your search? Did you find anything posts with descriptions of the tools needed?

36mm socket, torque wrench that will go up to at least 221 lb/ft accurately.

I did find some tools. Socket wrench was one of them.

TheSilentSK

Oh thank you. That's very helpful. I will add another tool to my collection.
