09 370z driver side rear clicking noise

Lately, I've been hearing a somewhat faint clicking noise in my driver side rear. It happens in low gears 1-3 between those respective speeds. It doesn't happen when in reverse. I took it to Nissan, and I picked it up this morning. They said it was a "loose bolt". I asked which one, they said "in the rear driver side". I'm like oh, that ONE BOLT. :mad: Anyway, I hear the clicking again after picking it up.

I've found a bunch of "370z noise" threads and they all allude to rear axles having to be greased and turned. Does anyone know of an actual TSB on this? I asked Nissan and they said they hadn't heard of anything like that. I'm going to call them back but I want to have some legit proof so they can't dismiss it has something dumb.

I've never experienced this. Give it some time and i'm sure somebody will be able to provide assistance

No TSB that I have heard of yet and I have the clicking also :mad:

Turns out it was that the rear axle bearing surface needed to be greased up a bit. The TSB they used as a reference was the NTB04-113b. It applied to the 2004-2010 Nissan Armada.

Same issue with G35s....had to have it re-greased 3 times in 6 years.
