clicking on take off - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

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😘

echo419 · 10-12-2015, 02:50 PM

it was a loose lug. all is well.

Pat · 10-16-2015, 06:37 PM

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

echo419 · 10-24-2015, 06:43 PM

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.

Pat · 11-01-2015, 03:50 PM

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

echo419 · 11-01-2015, 07:01 PM

Oh, thought he was referring to the lugs

Pat · 11-09-2015, 12:26 AM

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.
