That is what i was meaning....so it sound like it is coming from the front wheel - what can happen is the gear in the hub can cause this clicking sound when they are over greased or are not working properlyQuote:

Here is some more info off the net... not my pictures and not my text...
>>> G'day all,
>>> The Patrol auto hubs have a habit of making clicking noises and not engaging and disengaging properly. You can fix them by removing the auto locking mechanism, making them a manual hub. Auto becomes free and locked is still locked. And it's easy to do.
>>> Remove the hubs from the vehicle, shift them to the locked position, and using a large screw driver or small lever bar, prise out the auto locking mechanism. There are six steel tangs holding the mechanism in place, so it takes a bit of force to do. You can see which part you need to remove in the photos.

Hub on the right is how it looks when you first remove it from the vehicle, hub on the left has the auto mechanism removed.

This pic shows the underside of the auto mechanism. Hubs are ready to refit.
Yours is under warranty, so I would get Nissan to check it again....
But I am stopping slowly and safely, definitely not braking hard at all. Actually probably braking and stopping with much more finesse then normal.Quote:

If the transmission is overheating the trans oil will be an orangey pink in color and will smell like burnt fish and chips, sort of!!
The auto could be shifting down a bit lazily no big deal.
If you think the brakes are staying on the disc's will be a dark bluey black color aswell
You can check the color of the oil any time coz it should be a light red colour
I really don't think it has anything to do with the brakes.Quote:

i got that sound like 'the kids put a card in the spoke' when driving.. sends me nuts and i can't see anything under the car or around the wheels on the driver side.. i always thought it was a 'reverb' when driving close to objects.. but happens all the time!
I gotta get onto Nissan again for them to look at the hubs, hopefully they find something.Quote:
