R34 Gtt - Weird Clicking Noise

[nuffsaid]

Hi all

Ive started to develop a weird clicking noise in the rear drivers side of my GTT.

It kind of sounds like that sound when you turn on the air con on, when the relay/fan clicks. It also sounds like a rock being crushed.

I had a suspension place check it out seeing as my first impression was my coilovers/bushes. But they said it had nothing to do with it.

It only makes a sound when moving off from a stopped position during normal day to day driving.

The sound is even more apparent when I have the steering in full lock, or when the car is slowly reversing and I put it into first to move off. It tends to make a click, click, click sound when this happens. This leads me to think that perhaps it is a issue with the LSD as one wheel moves at a different speed to the other.

Once the car starts moving along it is fine.

The suspension place seems to think that it is either a shaft or diff issue.

Note: I put in Redline Gear Oil maybe 10000kms ago.

Thanks!

CV joint?

Anyone else?

Anyone else?

yeah i would have said CVjoint. the load of taking off and turning sharp corners would probably be making it stress. get it looked at by a mech (or diff/trans specialist) see what they think

Check the handbrake cable isn't hitting your driveshaft, mine popped out and kept making a tapping noise under the car because it was hitting the driveshaft.

im getting the same thing too, it does it when i move through gears to D to R to P and just move up and down a few meters then it brakes...

had a suspension check and nothing came up... going to try motsons suspension and turbo place. ill get back to you on what they say

What viscosity is the diff oil? Maybe try throwing some decent redline oil in it (if that's not what you're already running)
