I just got a ap1(yr2000) a few days ago and I noticed when leaving from a stop I hear a click sound what seems to be coming from the drivers side rear. Sometimes I also get this same sound when releasing the clutch from shifting into 2nd and or 3rd gear.
I did a search on it and read about the axle nut needed to be tighted, but I heard that it should only happen when going from first/reverse or vise versa, so I'm a bit confused.

It could be that, or your CV joint that needs replacing.

get it cheked out...

I had the same thing. Clicking from reverse to forward and also while driving forward from a stop and sometimes while shifting in low gears. I greased my splines and tightened my axle nuts to 220. The sound is gone.

WomenBeShoppin

Tightened/regreased my axle nuts to 250. The sound is now gone ^_^

don't over torque it, your bearing will not like it

WomenBeShoppin

Yea kinda happend on accident, I felt like I just snug tightend it with a breaker bar. Than when checked it with a torque wrench it said 250, so I figured i mine as well do the other side at the same tq.

Ohh man that does not sound like a good idea.

WomenBeShoppin

Well shit, so you think i should re-torque it to 220ibs? I'm going to need new axle nuts than, anyone know where to get them?

WomenBeShoppin

hmm, now I'm noticing that the right rear wheel gets hotter than the others (never checked before). So I guess that bearing is going out, I'm not sure if the over tightening of the axle nut caused it. Would re-torquing the nut to 220 possibly save the bearing from further damage?
