Default Clicking rear end - Hub nut

Hello,

When i pull off (forward or reverse) there is a metallic click/creak from the back.

I mentioned this to the dealer when it went in for some other warranty work and they said they are going to have to have it in for 2 days to strip down the drive shafts and re-lube them. Does this sound right? It sounds the same as when the wishbone bushes went on my old Ford.

Sounds like the hub nut to me. (From what others have said).

See my thread on grinding noise Andy. Seems to be getting rather common

Can just be the diff engaging but if its a loud click....

It wont be the pads, they are spring loaded and wont make that much noise IMO.

I meant the pads, often they are not quite fitted right or the spring retainers don't quite hold them hard enough!
