You still have a warranty. Let the dealership worry about it.

A TSB was made for the G37 coupe for clucking sounds coming from the rear of the car. Turned out it was the axle.

Well just to let yall know, I took my car to nissan and they said its the rear driver side wheel bearing.Warranteed!

Wow - that's good to know. People tracking cars will have to keep an eye out.

CBRich · 06-04-2009, 09:17 AM

Did they have any ideas as to why it went out so quickly? Just a bad part?

black09Z · 06-04-2009, 03:55 PM

didnt say, ill try and ask the tech when i get it fixed

black09Z · 06-07-2009, 03:38 AM

ok so, i got my car back today. i got a whole new axle. the service manager said that this is not a problem to expect from all other Z's. he said that sometimes a part just goes bad nd thats what warrantys were created for

Unless you have an oil cooler. Then the bad axle is your fault.

um............ why?

It's kind of an inside joke on Nissan's attitude toward oil coolers. Don't install one and overheat, install one and jeopardize your warranty.
