04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Grease issues was something pretty common on these vehicles, I worked at a nissan dealer for some time, and every second vehicle that had wheel bearings repacked, came back a week later with a ratcheting type noise from the hubs. the issue is the free wheeling hub being "sucked" in while you are driving along. Easy fix, remove the hubs, clean all off every bit of grease from the free wheeling hub, and then regrease it, being careful not to put too much, but ensure you have enough in there..
we replaced a set of wheel bearings on a GQ about a month ago at our workshop, and this happened shortly afterwards...
Thanks pjhicks3
Kinda had a feeling it would be something like that, seems to only do it after I have reversed out form somewhere and move off in a forward direction, went and got a workshop manual today so ill have a go at cleaning and regreasing.
Thanks for the help fellas, and sorry for jumping in on your thread mudski.
Cheers Illya

Old Thread anyways vk3...No probs there. Anyhow, I converted the auto hubs to manual by removing the actuator plate and there is no more clicking.
Hi I have this exact noise with manual locker on right side, once it starts you have to make a complete stop else it wont go away - will be stripping down this weekend and checking grease amounts as suggested - What did u find?

Hi Ian. My hubs were the Nissan auto locking hubs. Like I said I just removed the actuator plate to make them now manual locking. As for you case, being manual hubs in the first place. I don't know...
Had the same noise with my original auto hubs
Changed them over for a set of heavy duty AVM manual hubs
Problem solved
Cheers
