I’m not sure my issue is what is outlined in the TSB now to be frank. It could be any number of things making noise. For example, it could be the noise of brake pads shifting. Like this: Or this (time stamp 54 seconds) When I have a bit more time I will take it all apart again and have...

There is no doubt in my mind that there are multiple things going on here, ranging from play coming within the transmission (reduction gear) to bad CV axles with too much horizontal play to the actual issue that the TSB supposedly addresses. Here is a video of the noise I have on mine. It’s a...

Yes staking the nut does damage it a bit but that’s kind of the point. Should be OK. No, it doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t matter how the wheel is immobilized - be it brake, handbrake or the parking pawl in the transmission. Stopped is stopped, and tight is tight. I’m not sure about...

No, you’re correct. I’ve not yet been able to find official documentation for the axle but torque values for the leaf asides from YouTube videos. But then again, these guys are actually greasing the splines and not the collar so take that with a grain of salt. There is so much misinformation...

Just get the new nut — it’s relatively inexpensive. Also, it appears there may be some misunderstanding here about what is actually making the noise. Initially, based on videos I saw on the ol’ ‘tube, I thought the issue was the splines - where the axle is loading and unloading under...

Just reading the TSB referenced in the 1st post again, the one dated March 29, 2023. It says: For 370Z, LEAF, NV200, and 2013-2019 Sentra vehicles: Install the washer listed in the PARTS INFORMATION before installing the new Lock Nut. And a screenshot of the 'PARTS INFORMATION' section: So...

That doesn’t make sense - since this splined axle setup just about every vehicle out there uses (including EVs that have regen brakes). If you have a look at the TSB it mentions vehicles going back all the way to 2006. If you google “Nissan axle click” the top hit is the 350Z UK forum, with...

My feeling is it’s some sort of design fault within Nissan Leaf CV axles / hub splines. Edit. On further reading, it appears this noise is coming from the interface where the CV axle touches the back of the bearing and not the splines. Just be be clear - it’s the collar rather than the splines...

2018 ZE1 Leaf here, 75k miles. Both sides click. Tackled the right side, except I didn't use "Molykote", it is not readily available here. Instead, I used "MOLYBDENUM DISULFIDE GREASE" from the local yamaha jetski dealer. There is significant improvement (both in the amount of times it does it...

Update - managed to do it. The thread pitch is m24x1.50 as per @MikeinPA’s post.

Hmm, the thread pitch matches what I’ve observed. But the photo does not. If you check the attached image the nut shows a large unthreaded a section. This is where the stake goes in to prevent the nut from loosening. In the attached link there is no unthreaded section.

For reasons I won't get into right now I have an axle bolt that is a little damaged. I've got a thread die (M24 x 1.50) that seems to fit (visually, and turns easy enough) but I have no thread gauges etc and I don't want to go winding it on cutting new threads without verifying it is correct...

Alright - good news. I changed nothing but the key fob works now - buttons and everything. It definitely wasn’t working when I tested it immediately after swapping the battery, but let it sit for a couple hours then had to go to dinner - works perfectly.

Alright - there is actually some improvement. I'm finding that after replacing the battery, the buttons to lock/unlock do not work, however I can lock/unlock the car by pressing the buttons on the trunk lid / driver door. I can also start the car by pressing button (no need to hold it up to the...

Hello My 2011 leaf was showing “key fob battery low” icon in the display for the past couple of weeks (winter from here in NZ where I’m from). So I replaced it with a new CR2025. I made sure it’s facing the right way (flat negative side down, positive side up facing me). I also measured...
