Default Clicking Axle Nut

Hey Guys/Gals

My driver side axle nut click is getting loud and consistent. Does anyone have the socket and a torque wrench big enough to torque this that would be willing to help me? I will bring the car to you at anytime and perform the work myself. I do not own a big enough socket and my torque wrench doesnt go to 220ft/lb.

Thanks,
Doug

If I grab the socket can I swing by and use your torque wrench?

I will also drop off payment for the keyhole plugs.

What is the size? I probably have the correct socket but my torque wrench only goes up to 180 I believe.

We have a socket in the group that I'm sure we can get a hold of. Also... If going to this extent, it's almost worth replacing the existing bolt with new as s2kjr did

Existing bolt?? You referring to the axle nut?

Also do you guys recommend doing both sides? The passenger side doesnt make noise but if it would be a good thing to do I will do it.
