Posting live from the garage...just retq'd the driver's side axle nut to 220 ft lbs and the stake mark didn't seem to move much. I'm about to restake it and move on to the passenger side, but I'm hoping someone could take a look and verify how much their stake mark moved when they did it

 

Just came back from an extensive test drive...noise seems to be gone. Hopefully this problem is solved!

 

I thought you were not suppose to re-use the axle nut?

 

I don't see why not. Its just a nut...

 

Just buy new ones, only like 5 bucks or so... That's what I did.

 

nothing wrong with re-using

 

Mine moved about the same distance.

What noises do these cause? I've got a clunking noise from the rear of the car when Im shifting. Does it less when I rev to atleast 5k. Any ideas?

 

Are you sure? If I remember correctly, the axle bolt is a one time use bolt. I think it even states it in the helms to replace it. I'm guessing because its a stretch bolt.
