I'll ask anyway, have you recently put on a new set of tires?

Mine did this for about 500 miles after I had a new set or rear tires put on.

Even if you didn't put on new tires, were your wheels unmount/remount before you noticed the problem? Sometimes people forget that the front and rear wheels are different and mount a rear wheel on the front by mistake.

I agree that it is probably tire pressure. I had a rear @ 15 psi on a 300 ZX TT that looked normal. I suggest you invest in a good tire pressure gauge.

I was going to ask about new tires as well, I had a similar experience after putting new rears on my car with existing fronts!

OOPS, This is Nzaizar posting on my roomates screen name!

how many miles are on your fronts? i'd be wary of replacing only one if you've got substantial treadwear.

Yeah, I meant ECU


I took mine in for the clicking rear a week ago, they said I had a tiny screw in my rear passenger tire, but they wouldn't plug it. Took it somewhere else to get a plug, and they pulled out not a tiny screw, but a 3" nail
