Hypothesize and break out all the textbooks you want, old nut clicks, fresh nut doesn't, time and time again. Maybe the grease dries out, maybe the nuts have a locking feature that wears over time and can only be retorqued a few times, bottom line is that Subaru has been selling cars with this design for decades and continue to do so because it isn't a significant problem. Here's a thread from an STI forum detailing the problem. From 10 years ago. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/diy-mods...noise-try.html |

I don't have a picture. I removed cleaned & torqued to 146 still clicked. Removed cleaned torqued to 150, still clicked. Dealer replaced it, torqued to 146 and no click.

They can't void your warranty. It's illegal. No warranty can be voided. They can say that your muffler is causing the problem and charge you for the replacement, but they have to prove this in court through arbitration.

That thread is mind numbing. So far:
I'm confident that replacing a nut is a band-aid over a symptom as opposed to a cure for the underlying reason. Just want to know the underlying reason. The suspense is killing me!

I have the same issue, clicking on accel almost all the time... I loosen the axle nut and re-torque it, although it didn't fix the clicking sound, I only hear it in occasion.

Either go back to stock on the exhaust and try again or find a new dealership. Or find a local forum member who will help you DIY. @Hyper4mance2k how do you get that survey thingy to shit all over them so they'll be nice to you again? Appears Lugi didn't get one. |

All they said was that they think it was your exhaust making the noise, and that the exhaust is not covered under warranty. Call Toyota corporate... Maybe they're right. I haven't heard your car. Maybe it isn't the axle and maybe it's the exhaust hitting something. When mine was bad, they told me it wasn't the nut. I told them they were wrong. I did the same thing in the garage that I did in my video. Then I told them to fix my car, or we can fix it in arbitration. 30 minutes later I had a new nut, and I went home.
http://www.toyota.com/support/contact-us Take your car to a different shop that isn't going to charge you for an inspection. 99% of shops will not charge you. Get an estimate from them showing that it's the axle. Go back to Toyota with your 2nd opinion. Tell them to give you your money back and to fix your damn car... @elyugi1 Where do you live? Judging by your grammar, English isn't your first language. Maybe there's someone local who will go in with you and help you out. If you were local to me, I would go with you.

No manufacturer can void your warranty. They are in violation of the law just by putting tha in writing. They can tell you that they aftermarket exhaust is not covered under warranty. Look it up. How do people go through life uninformed? Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act http://www.mlmlaw.com/library/guides...s/undermag.htm You should have not payed them a penny, and you should have not left without getting your car fixed. By paying them for absolutely nothing, you legally agreed to their diagnosis that it was your muffler making the noise. You now have very few other options. Didn't you read anything else I posted?
