Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Steering Wheel Noise (tic tic tic)

GOBLUE · 10-07-2015, 10:17 AM

I had a ticking noise surface in my 2010 Z this week (15,000 miles on it), and this sounds like the same issue. It starts at about 3500 RPM and doesn't go away all the way to redline. Anything below 3500 RPM, no noise. Sounds like a tick from behind the steering wheel or in the instrument panel somewhere. It will make the noise when sitting still and revving or driving around, so it is definitely engine vibration induced and not road or speed induced.

I thought it was a long shot to search the forums for this issue, but this is why I love the forum! I'll check out the bulletin and probably take it to the dealer to repair.

For those that had this fixed, how much did you pay??
