Proud owner of a new-to-me Silver 2005 in really good shape. New top and pristine interior--bought from the original owner.

The car is awesome, but it has the clicking in the rear that apparently is a common problem. I tried the axle nut tightening DIY today and couldn't get it to budge. I need to get a 3/4" drive with a long breaker.

I was actually thinking (don't flame me) of taking it to the dealer for this. Any other NoVa S2K owners have a dealer service center they trust?

 

Congrats on the new S, it looks really clean!

As for the axle nut TSB, all you need is a 3/4 drive breaker bar and a 3-4 foot pipe from a hardware store and you will have no problem breaking those nuts free. I just did this on my S and I had no trouble at all and I am a pretty small guy. Harbor Freight sells 3/4 drive tools for pretty cheap too. Good luck!

 

hmmm....this looks....familiar




congrats and welcome...even though apparently im not the only one in virginia with this style lol


and yea, youre going to need some ass behind that to get those axle nuts to 220 lb/ft

 

Whoa! Looking good there Irishman. Looks like even the same rims... Judging from your sig, pretty different under the hood, though. Nice!

 

thank you sir...and i am fairly certain those are the exact same wheels lol

 

and welcome....
