The problem is the axel hub on C4, C5, C6 & C7 , wear out after 100k at normal use, if you are track racing they don't last long. They run from about $45 to $100. As long as you are not racing and taking hard corners, they're fine. If you are track racing then you should buy a Timken at about $100 or upgrade one made for racing at $400. The part is relatively easy to install, I have replaced about 8 or 9 of these over the years. Good luck.
Man, thanks for this video my c7 just started doing that and I thought it was the transmission or something. You saved me im all over the internet trying to figure it out, im going to do this tomorrow morning .!
It would seem that the root issue is actually in the axle itself? The re-torque might be masking the problem temporarily. The sound is very similar to a bad half shaft on an ATV.
on front tire click turning is also what I have its 8:30 basically a dirty tire contact. "{Clean the mating surfaces, where the back side of the wheel touches the rotor}"
Do you also hear the click when shifting? I’ll be in my garage and I’ll shift from park to drive and I’ll hear the click. Would the axle be the cause of this?
@@dannyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy No, I’m assuming you have an automatic transmission. If you notice it after you wash your car or after it rains. Sometimes the rust kind of sticks to the brake pads after the car dries and once you move it for the first time after a rain/wash you might hear a click/popping sound.
@ no this isn’t after a wash either. Granted I got my car washed about a week and a half ago and I let it sit in my garage in 40 degree weather for a week without driving it and now it’s starting to click. And it stutters as well when accelerating at least sometimes not sure what the diagnosis is
wow you didnt use the pucks that are between the jack and the car so it doesn't cause damage.. Good vid though but a torque wrench would be a good investment for future videos. Also you can only put that axle nut on 1 time , when you remove it its a paper weight and unsafe to reuse and you should be using red lock tite not the blue blue is for snug bolts like harley side covers red is for axles and anything torqued over 40 foot pounds in most cases...

I believe those axle nuts are one time use. Once they break free, they should be replaced and then use red locktite 272. Good luck.
all the silent parts and all the remarks make this video awesome its also like fallowing you along for the actual journey its detailed love it
The Axel nuts are a 1x use. Do you see the Alu shavings @ 7:50? This problem will return.

11:39 i dont know anything about removing tires so this is so helpful
dude what an awesome video you got
Why not a Torge wrench to get the right Specks!
So what are the torque specs for the axle nut in the front? Is it also 184/ ft lbs?

@ It could be a few things. Have you tried searching for the issue in any c7 forums?

My C7 is doing the same thing.
