This is a very clear and articulate video. I had a 350z and had to do the same thing but I took the whole drive shafts out to clean and grease them. It worked. Now I have a 370z and it too makes the same noise so I will try this method. Thanks.
I just finished fixing the clicking noise on my Infiniti FX35 Sport. I did it the exact procedure Nissan/Infiniti recommends. They recommend to use the same lock nut and same washer. You only need new cotter pins and Brake Caliper Grease which contains the Moly M77 material. It cost me $11 to fix it and it runs like brand new. You can do it yourself. Don't hesitate!
I have a 2012 FX35 doing this. I'll add it to the maintenance list. I just did my fuel level sensor fix for a few dollars. This axle thing is truly just a band aid. It seems there is too much play in the splines and all the grease does is make it a smoother transition from one end of the play to the other vs snapping all at once.
Found this fix on a G37 forum, ordered the parts and was planning on doing this today. So I was looking up videos, and found this video. Ha I appreciate it!
Will need to do this to my Z. Had the clicking for a little which started very stubble and rarely did it. Now it’s more common, especially when coming to a stop or going into reverse
@@almightykeys4734 mine makes this noise from the front only in reverse and drive, basically in a gear. only noticeable at low speeds to a stop.. is this the fix for that problem?
@@yokeo correct! If you still have warranty, its better to trust the actual nissan dealers. If you are good fixing your own car, this video will certainly help :)
How long did this fix last? I’ve done just about everything and it’s only lasted a few thousand miles at best. I’ve removed the axle completely, cleaned and wire brushed all the splines, fresh grease, went in with oem parts first time around, second time around I went with the Kawasaki castle nut and it went back to clicking. There has been no remedy I could find that works permanently.
FYI. I just saw this vid. th-cam.com/video/3ipx1OWx3kk/w-d-xo.html They removed the axle, cleaned the splines and added thread lock. Their logic was the splines are wearing out and creating a gap. Grease won't solve the issue but locking it down would. I didnt see a follow up if it worked or not for the long term.
@@johnvas4173 looks like they also forget the castle nut....the nut seems warped to some degree in some of these videos so it may be related to the click noise?
I can’t find a castle nut anywhere at my local hardware stores and it’s driving me crazy , would a dorman thread nut also work? The guy at the auto parts store said it should fit? I don’t know much about cars.
I'm having the same issue with my 2015 Versa S+. I can't find this castle nut anywhere. The ones I find are OEM replacements.

From 1:05 to 3:41 you go on about removing a wheel, from 8:40 to 10:41 putting it back on, anyone even thinking about doing this fix surely can and has already taken wheels off.. ;) But hey thanks alot for producing a nice walkttough !

I am very disappointed with carmax. They couldn't even fix this simple problem. Thank goodness the nissan dealer near me had the knowledge to actually fix my car and then some. Thanks for this video sir. Without it, I don't think carmax would have ever of found the problem.
After reading these comments, I will just replace both axles. I'd like a permanent fix to this very constant and annoying noise and maybe regain some missing torque as well!
This is more of a bandaid type of fix. The issue is most likely the bearing design. Until an updated bearing comes out with a new part number, this is the only remedy. NTN makes the bearings for Nissan. They are usually really good.

I tried this method with the kawasaki axle nut. I used three new spring washers on each axle as well as new cotter pins. Torqued the axles nuts down to 80 ft lbs per multiple sources. The axle clicking went completely away for a solid 2 months but the clicking is coming back. I've read multiple forums stating to also re-grease where the axle meets the back face of the hub... so I may try that out. Is anyone aware of a more permanent fix for this situation though? I know Nissan has come out and said the axle clicking on the 350/G35 and 370/G37 is normal but I would still like to resolve the clicking. Would replacing the axles with aftermarket solve this axle clicking??

Hey man. Did you ever find a permanent fix? I did the same to mine and it came back within about 2 weeks :/
How major is this problem?
Eventually the axle will break since the clicking is the metal to metal contact. +james lucero
Is this absolutely necessary?
glovedcop69 Some people get lucky and there axles don’t click, for others, it’s a nightmare cause it’s annoying
No
only if your car is clicking because it could eventually break
I think you folded the pin incorrectly it should be at both sides
+lamar sharpboss Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
I agree , but over all very helpful video, about to this tomorrow on my z34
This is 60 seconds of content stretched into 11 minutes of nothingness.
