Axle clicks and woosh woosh rotational noise
I recently installed a set of 600hp DSS axles in my '13 FRS. Immediately after doing so, I would get a woosh woosh woosh noise clearly coming from the axle/diff when turning while driving at low speeds (parking lot speeds) after the car was warmed up. In addition, I've been noticing a click on accel/reverse from the rear which is likey the axles.
I used new nuts @140 ft lbs when I put the axles in. In an effort to sort out this strange behavior, I ordered two more, torqued them to 150, and staked them. No change. Is there a need to put more torque on the DSS axles vs OEM or something? Any ideas as to what could be the reason for this? |
make sure to check the boot clamps mine shot all the grease out in 50 miles the clean up sucked but being told I could repack them myself or they would but it might be 3-5 weeks sucked more. mine click also and I haven't found a fix for it. Tried everything I could think of but no results. On the bright side they hold up well to abuse

Thanks for the tip, the boots are all on there securely. I have a couple thousand miles on them so far and everything seems fine except the few strange noises. I'm thinking I'll take it to a lapping day regardless and send it to see if there are any adverse affects. I know my shoes have a bit of play in the drums too, and the ebrake is a bit loud, so perhaps part of the problem lies there. Do yours make any rotational noises under certain conditions?
