clicking on take off
 

this isn't even a hard take off. even slight acceleration from a stop and I get this clicking sound from what sounds like the rear left wheel area. is this normal or anything to worry about? I have never touched the suspension of the car. I've put on new wheels and that's about it.

Check the axle nut, I had the same issue and the axle nut had backed off about half a turn. It should be crimped into the slot on the axle.
Dealership retorqued and crimped, no charge...

Axle nut loose, or axle going bad.

Thanks. I'll check that out

If re-torquing the existing axle nut doesn't work, i'd replace the nut and re-torque. I had the exact same problem on both rear axles, the nuts fixed it

I had the same issue albeit on a different car. G35s were notorious for this and there was a TSB on it as well. The problem - axle nuts or axles themselves like everyone else had mentioned.

I've actually have the same issue but it's in the front and it happens when I stop at times


I'll give you the rice noodle😘

it was a loose lug. all is well. :D

I think I have the same issue. Do you guys remember the nut size and torque spec?
TIA

Torque is 90 or 95 iirc. But I'm not sure.

Found the problem. Something broken in the e-brake. It was loose and causing the click. Under warranty so I don't care. :)

According to this link, the axle nut is 32mm and torque spec is 140 ft-lbs.

Oh, thought he was referring to the lugs

Should I get a new nut or can I just retorque the one I have? I'm a little worried about the crimping of said nut, as it looks like there my be a special tool necessary to do this job. Thoughts?

Yes, its best to replace the nut (got mine for $7). No special tools needed, just a good flat head screw driver an a hammer. To remove, stick the screw driver at the key/cut-out on the axle to bend back the crimp. When you're done torquing down, use screw driver tip to tap down the crimp.

Thanks, BFL! That's great news. By now I do anything I can to avoid a trip to the dealer, even if it's under warranty. For future reference, I think the part number is 902170049.[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Subaru-902170049-Axle-Nut/dp/B00I7996N8"]Link to buy on Amazon $7.64 free shipping[/ame]

I have mine especially when braking too hard and turning hard. Can even feel my hand brake vibrating like its gonna fell apart.
