Not yet it seems like. I've spent almost 2 years dealing with GM support which was a waste of time. I've been to service over 30x. The noise comes back after 1-2 weeks EVERY TIME.

Only a temp solution. Any permanent solutions?

So far my 'clink' sound when changing from forward to reverse is dependent on the axle nut. Tighten it up. No more sound. Couple weeks, comes back and the nut is below torque spec. Today I swapped it for a new one and used some blue locktite.

Thanks! I found some Blue Locktite on amazon:
I'll give it a try.

How about cleaning the mating surfaces and spraying on a little WD 40 or get some of that stuff you put on the backs of brake pads to stop the vibration.

Sounds like my 350Z that I had to grease the axle mating face every 10k miles.

thought i would try again with an update. my car is a 2015 and has done this since new. dealer tried many times. nothing worked. i asked them to have GM rep take a look at it but this never happened. i have given up, at least with this dealer. i think it has been reported so many times that they don't even try anymore to fix it. their standard response is "operating normally". i have the CCB brakes and the sound, which i refer to as a click, happens only in the rear and is a one time click on take off after stopping. it is very repeatable and dealer had no difficulty hearing it.

can anyone think of anything is the rear that might click only once on startup? it happens within the first tire revolution. acts like some slack being taken up and then reset after stopping. i am willing to dig into fixing it myself, just hoping that someone has some ideas of where to start. cleaning wheel faces, re torquing wheels, washing, greasing have no affect.

Tighten the axle nuts. 36mm socket and 182 lb-ft. I found the driver's side likes to loosen due to the direction of rotation relative the threads.

i have overtorqued the rears many times, in fact each time after i install the DR's which is about 5 times a year. no change there, but thanks for the response.

Finally got rid of my defective 2015 Stingray. Purchased a new 2017 Stingray z51! Runs much nicer! Great performance!
