Rear Driveshaft Noise at 12k miles
I could use some help. I just hit 12k miles and about two nights ago, my passenger and I noticed a strange sound coming from the rear passenger side of the car when accelerating from a stop.
The noise sounds like a tin can vibration and occurs when engaging into first (or reverse). The sound also only appears when the car is cold; I am unable to duplicate the noise if the car is completely warmed up. The exhaust is tight and is not the issue. I am concerned that it may be one of the U joints or something else on the axle that is worn. Could it possibly be a drive shaft issue? The sound has not occurred in 12k miles so I don't think it can be considered one of the normal quirks of the Z. I read elsewhere on the forum about a few other people with this issue, but no resolutions were made. Thanks for reading. |
