Attention Owners of 2010 370Z - Clunk Noise from Rear of Vehicle

CaymanZ · 12-28-2014, 10:55 AM

i have a 2010 370z and it had a similar problem. Found a post some time ago for a 350 with the same problem there was a service bulletin issued by Nissan. I will see if I can find it. The problem was the rear drive shaft bolts were loose where it connects with the diff. The mechanic pulled the drive shafts and packed it with grease and tighten the bolts, no more click and clank from the rear end

Same issue, but Nissan refuse to cover under warranty with the TSB, so I just leaving it as is for now. there is a DIY post of how to fix it.

This has been covered plenty before, the rear noise is the crossmember support for the rear diff that is banging against other mechanics under the car, the differential bushing fails and leaks fluid on the diff, impossible to miss, the dealer will replace the bushing and crossbar under warranty if this happens (Sometimes)

Had mine replaced about a month ago under warranty

Due to the luck of shims?But you replaced them?How can this be the solution?Not stiff enough?
