Anyone know the torque spec for the axle nut?

This video is where I suspect the problem is coming from. The parking brake set and transmission in neutral, and I am able to rotate the drive shaft a good 20-30 degrees. Can anyone else try this out and post a video to compare?

That's just drive train slop. some of that is normal. To which extent I'm not sure.

It was a long time ago when I first noticed the sound (~12k miles now), but it initially only clicked when going from forward to reverse and vice versa. I though it was just another "normal" 86 sound, but now it's happening when on and off throttle. What a piece of junk.

Same thing here man same thing. Dealer torqued my nut down for me.still clicks going into reverse or something but not as much when the car is under load.

Mines ticking a LOT more than normal.. But I'm having much more serious misfire issues atm to deal with.

Seems like if your car is lowered they are using that as an excuse to deny claims.

Getting the clicking/ticking as well, AT. Sound direction is hard to judge in the car but I swear it sounds like it's coming from the left rear axle. Could be wrong. Anything that we can check on our own?

You can try to torque the nut down to 140lbs of torque

To anyone having this issue . Get to the dealer right away about it. I took it Saturday they torqued it down still doing the noise. Today they emailed me that I have a new axle at the dealer waiting to get replaced under warranty. Pretty rad as they didn't tell me they were even ordering one. I feel like they maybe more open to fixing it before it snaps as if you brought it in snapped but who knows.

is there a DIY on how to prevent this before it gets to that point, or fix it after it does?

Some more discussion in this thread:

If it happened to me and wasn't warrantied, i'd be tempted to go with this as a fix:
