Ok every one- i need some help! ok i was driving one day and i had to make u-turn. when i did i heard my axel starting to click so i simply thought that i ruind the shaft from driving it to hard. so the next day i sent it out to be rebuilt. put it back on 2 days later same thing? so i thought maybe he forgot something. so i called him and sent it back. same thing. so finally i tool it to another rebuilder- it was ok for about 2 days then it stated clicking really bad. so got pissed and called nissan and discovered that the 99-00 axels for the ight side are the same part # so i called car quest and got an after market shaft - 3 days later i have clicking - any suggestions? i really appreciate it -oops- i didnt tell you i have 00 maxima 5sp. thanks again

 

Check out the TSB thread... I don't think the axels are bad.

Never mind then...... You post *****!!!

 

No no no... get paid while doing this.

 

I have a 00 max 5sp and car is making the same sound only during right turns, so I think its the CV joint making noise. The crapy boot must have ripped and the joint is getting fu*&ed with no lube. The good news is that I have MY VIN NUMBER CHANGED OVER TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. I guess Hawaii is like another country or something. So all I have to do is send it in under warranty repair.

 

nah trust me its the axel - and the cv boots are not ripped the tri-pod where all the bearing are is gettin bent /scored causing the bearings to have play- thats why it clicks - but what is causing it to do this i have no adea

 

Have you had them look at the struts at all?

 

From what he's been telling us, nope.

C2MAX, have Nissan check out the TSB I posted.
