Hey my car makes a clicking sound sometimes. So far its only 1 click. Normally when driving off in first gear or when i release the gas. I checked the axle nut. Torqued it at 220lb but it didn't move then i went to 230 nothing sill then 250 and it still didn't move. it seems as if its been torqued pretty hard since it didn't move at all. What else could be my problem for it causing the clicking noise. please help if you can Thanks

 

Stupid question: Did you remove the cotter pin before trying to re-torque them? I have read that the axle splines can click when they get dry. I would say the next step for you is to actually remove the axle nuts, re-grease the splines and install new axle nuts.

 

try the other side...?

 

also, the torque wrench can be broken...

 

where is the cotter pin? i didn't remove that. what should i grease the splines with? any high temp grease?

 

i tried both sides. i don't think the torque wrench is broken its a craftsman and its pretty new still.

 

i am going to take off the nut tomorrow and try again and grease it. also my car is an 06 is that a common problem for all s2000?

 

pretty common.

friend had it...thought he fixed it, but turned out the torque wrench was broken...

he was barely torquing to about 80 lbs...

 

80lbs? jees that's scary!
