    Incredible fix. Clicking noise is gone. The whole rear end feels more direct now. Very satisfying

    When I worked at a Nissan dealership. They had a bulletin for axle clicking. We would remove the nut, back out the axle just abit and put molykote on the splines and in between the axle and wheel hub. Tighten everything back up

    I've had that axel click for 6 months, I thought it was the diff from bouncing off T3 at RA😅. Now I m changing the wheel bearings after a year because i didn't retorque the freaking Axel nut. 😂 Teachable moment 🤦‍♂️

    Nice video, thanks. I always understood that the torque specs assume dry threads, and that lubed threads torqued to the specified number on a torque wrench puts the pressure on the parts higher than spec. No?

    • @marcocarvalho3619

      The lube isnt in the threads... it goes in contact surface by the nut and the bearing, not the axle and nut.

      The Honda manual says 180ft lbs, and update from Honda in early 2001 suggests 220lbs. I try not to quote specs in the videos as often people like to find fault argue these facts. Lol.

    my axle boot is leaking grease and making the clicking noise. I retorqued it back to spec and it still makes the noise. Will having a bad cv axle make the same noise?

    @deano_s2k 4 роки тому +2

    On s2ki people often over torque them as they believe the factory torque spec is not tight enough. What are your thoughts?

    • @LHTPerformance
      @LHTPerformance  4 роки тому +1

      Take the advice that makes the most sense. Over torquing not only put additional friction on the bearing but could also damage the thread on the axles.

      @@LHTPerformance Visual comparison of how far the spline is pulled through could yield some insight too for comparing one that is clicking vs one that isn't.

  • @captainslav6528
    @captainslav6528 3 роки тому

    Why do these splines have play designed into them in the first place ? Is it to allow for expansion or something ?

    • @LHTPerformance
      @LHTPerformance  3 роки тому

      Yes. If it was a 100% perfect match it would be close to what’s known as an ‘ interference Fit’. That parts would lock together.
