Creaking/clicking Sound When Accelerating

[ironpaw]

Went for a drive tonight in the rain and noticed that when I accelerated a creaking/clicking sound can be heard from the front passenger area.

I had a look under the wheel well but cannot find anything suspect.

Thought it might be the CV boot but I thought that only clicked when you are in full wheel lock?

any idea?

lol Jethro maybe sound clip it??

[Jetwreck]

Sorry Jethro, I have no idea what it could be without going for a spin. Drop around tomorrow if you like and I can have a listen. When does it happen, only under power?

Craig,

check swaybar links and make sure all suspension is done up.

i had one and it was a dry swaybar bush. except i got it with braking hard

[ironpaw]

It rarely happens but tonight its been happening constantly. Only happens under power....hmmm

Have a look a re-greasing your spline axle , i have had this issue with all 3 Nissans ive owned , same clicking prob every time !

AFAIK that only affects the rear. but probably worth doing anyway. i have that clicking too. surprisinly, i also had that problem with all my nissans lol

[66yostagea]

Could be in the caliper?? The pads could be near lifes end. Like peeps are saying Nissans do it. ATM my R30 does it.

[ironpaw]

Would the pads make noise when I'm not braking?

Mine does that but it is the Greddy ProfecB boost controller..

Andys clicking is the solenoi; so if yours isnt connected that shouldnt be the issue

There's a Nissan service bulletin on clicking axles as referred to by a few guys earlier. Maybe there is something in that?

I know you said it was coming from the front, but maybe the sound's playing tricks on you...

Interesting...

Whats even more interesting is that I think the issue is caused by water/moisture.

The only days where I hear this clicking is when its raining hard...and today, as I drove to work, I had to go through a big puddle.

As soon as I drove out of the puddle the clicking noise returns...

WTF?

I have the same noise, its not very noticeable but under hard acceleration it makes a creak noise. At first I thought it was pinging, but had that checked and it only does it when the drive train loads up. I was told a warn bush or swaybar link could cause it.

found a good list here:

I'm thinking either:

Shocks/swaybar/CV boot

Issue is. Why is it only noticable AFTER it gets wet??

[Sunkist]

did you bring it around to scotts for him to hear?

maybe its an electrical short? they make clicking sounds..

mine was and I found out when I shoved boost line through one of the gromets there was a water leak..

this would screw up my indicators etc.. and only when it rained as yours is.

but it made a clicking sound/which is also an electrical short sound...

it could also probably explain your leak in the car..
