Clicking Noise

[jasevr4]

Hi,

When I take off from a stationary position, or if I am rolling quite slowly (eg, slowing down for a right hand turn to the point of almost stopping, then taking off in first), my Stagea makes a single "click" noise, which sounds like it is coming from the front right. It's not particularly loud and only really does it the once until i slow down again and take off again.

Has anyone had this before? I am thinking CV joint? ...Keeping in mind I don't have a clue about Nissans.. :laughing-smiley-014:

either CV joint or front driveshaft.....

I get a click similar that

only on low speed take off

single click sound from front right (sort of under my drivers seat)

seems to me to be from the auto box, only ever noticed it since the MV Auto shift kit was put into the 'tranny

Hmm weird - mine's a manual, but a converted S1..

yeh got it too,started as my driveshaft and cv boot but has led to cv's getting dirty and yeah......up for alot more now!!!

Is there a way to tell if a CV joint is stuffed?

After closer inspection (driving along with my head out the window), I've found that it makes the clicking noise whenever I accelerate.

Eg if I slow down then accelerate it will click..

CV joints usually only make noises on full lock (eg u-turns) and make more than one click sound.

I have what I believe is the same problem, but only occasionally. I have had the car checked over thoroughly at least 3 times since it first started happening, and the only thing we found was dry bushes. Given that the sound happens so rarely, I'm not sure if that was it, but I don't remember hearing it since....
