A&Q about 350Z
Q:
hello all, lately i have noticed a slight noise just after putting my car in reverse. noise occurs right as i put it in reverse and again when first applying the throttle when backing up. now it seems as if i'm hearing it when intially appling the throttle after shifting into drive. it sounds like its coming from the rear wheels. does anyone know what the symptoms are prior to the rear bearing TSB replacement. any input would be helpful. i will not be able to get to the dealer for another week.

Axle nut needs tightened. Remove the wheel and tighten it. It may apear that it is tight, but it's not.

is this common for the axle nuts to become loose? was this an issue with yours as well? i will not be able to address it for several days but still need the car for transportation. is there a chance for damage under normal driving conditions? what size is the axle nut? thanks for the insight. anyone else have any ideas?

Has anyone else heard any noise when going in reverse and appling the brakes it a squeaky noise that sounds like metal on metal? I can 't get to the dealership until 13 Dec. Just wondering if it's just my Z that is doing this. The front is doing it also sounds like the wheel bearing is going out on the driver side. Is that covered under the warranty? Does anyone have clues to what this maybe?
