Default clicking from the rear end?

hey guys i got a 2000 s2000.. usually when i first start moving a get these slight click sounds from the back of the car.. i don't know if the rear end is making the click or it could possibly be the axles but it bothers me.. does anyone else have this issue or know what i could possibly be??

The click sounds are probably the axle/spindle nuts. It's a common problem with the S2000. You need to remove, replace, regrease, and then retorque the Axle Nuts to 220 ft/lb.

You can purchase them here:

I search the forum and got the TSB, printed it, Sent it to the service center when i went there for my 90K service.

Car came back with the sound still there. I sent it back, but they assured me they have done the above, still the sound is there.

Any idea what could it be?

You can order them from Honda too...they'll probably be more expensive.

Yeah I agree with the above responses... the rear will "clunk" rather than "click" ... altho anything can happen.
