Clicking issue?
What's up guys I have a question.
I have researched a lot about this but still can't figure it out. I have a 2007 z51 m6 and when I accelerate I get a strange "clicking" noise from the rear of my car. It is t the clutch because when I completely come off of it and just start to give it gas it makes this noise. I have 48,000 miles on this car. I don't have a warranty so I'm not really wanting to take it in to the dealer and pay hundreds of dollars for them to look at it and just tell me they don't know what it is? Has anyone had this problem? What did u find? I am located in northwest houston if it matters. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Ok so I'm at work (train mechanic) checked both axle nuts. Drivers side was to spec at 160. Passenger side was around 85. Torqued it down. Well see if the noise is gone when I get off tonight. Otherwise I'm at a loss?
