I have an 06 titan crew cab with 800 miles already have a clicking noise at slow shape turns, like parking and such. also have a vibration from 40 thru 25 when off the gas, with or without the brakes. it is a little worse with brakes applied, but is is almost as bad without. any one have these problems?

Well from your headline on the post, I'd say when there's burning and itching but that's a bad joke!:fktardxplF1502TITAN said:
That sounds like a suspension issue and may be a misaligned drive shaft...somewhere on the Forum someone brought that up however I thought that the problem occurred at all speeds.
Has the dealer seen/heard what you have experienced?
When you pull the drain plug and see part numbers on the chunks that come out...F1502TITAN said:
Has anyone considered that maybe the Pinion Bearing pre-load has been set to high, and basically the roller bearings, and bearing races are just plain getting to hot, and inevitably burning up?
I had a 93 porsche 968 that had the problem crop up at around 29,000 miles on the odometer. It starts as a light whining sound at higher speeds, and as the bearing and race surface continue to deteriorate, the whining gets louder and his more noticeable at lower speeds. These cars had a Getrag 6 speed manual rear mounted transaxle tranny. A large percentage of the 968 Porches from production year 1992 through 1995 experienced this problem. It was definitely found via tranny break-downs in shops that the Pinion bearing pre-load was to tight, and just plain heated up the bearings and their race surfaces. You could actually see a carbonization of the roller bearins and races steel surfaces.......as a blackening or darkening in color. Getrag blew it right from the factory.
Porsche North America to this day has never reimbursed a single 968 owner who had to fork up out-of-pocket expenses ranging from $2,000. to $3,000 for tranny rebuilds with proper pinion pre-load.
Most of the trannsaxles failed just a few miles beyond the warranty period, or failed with low enough miles, but already had exceeded the 3 year warranty period.
These 968's were the poor man's Porsche, if you can call any Porsche a poor mans car. They retailed between $39k and $50k depending on what year and what options.
You expect some dealer or factory support when literally thousands of a Marque are experiencing troubles associated with manufacturing and not driver abuse. N. American Porsche snubbed all out of warranty owners.

That whining in those Dana 44's sure makes me wonder, as whining usually is a tell-tale sign of something not getting enough lub and something having too, tight a tolerances.......

It's a thought.

F1502TITAN, I have 2500 miles on 06 SE King Cab and have had the same problem in the 25-40mph range at about 400 miles. But unlike yours mine gets worse when I apply the brake OR the accelerator. I just took the truck in this morning for the 3rd time and three tires out of alignment, but it did not fix the problem. Not sure what is wrong with it. This is geting old.
I've had the highway speed whine for the last 6,000 miles (currently around 14,000 miles on the odometer). I replaced the differential oil soon after I started hearing the whine and observed nothing unusual. Nissan replaced the differential fluid recently when they replaced the passenger's side rear axel seal. They did not report anything ubnormal. Today, I was driving my Titan and the slip warning light came on and stayed on for around 15 miles until I shut off the engine. When I drove it again later, the slip light did not come on, but I only drove once since then... I will keep an eye on it, but the slip light certainly did not make me feel good.Yomama said:
went to dealer today. they said that it was the tires causing the vibration:dunno: so i ask the tech...... all titans with the goodyear wrangler tire have the same vibration. since it is blamed on the size of the lugs on the tires. then i got the deer in the headlights look and no answer!!! the clicking is blamed on lose wind up clips on the leaf springs, they ordered those so we will see when they replace them. i have a friend that works at goodyear and i am going to ask if they have had any problems with those tires. not to impressed with my first visit to the dealer service dept.
im taking mine in tomm. to get oil change and mine still does whine only at 40 mph I will see what they say.
I have similar vibration 25-30, have gone through hell with dealer but making headway. I discovered center support bearing rubber mount is cracked, dealer is ordering one for me (after "borrowing" 4 tires from a Titan on the lot to eliminate them as cause). This may be the cause or another symptom of a bigger problem.
BTW, if your dealers say it is a tire problem, have them switch out tires from another truck. If they refuse then they are hiding something.

just reading this topic makes me wonder. i work in a tire shop and most of you sound like you are hearing road noise. local tire shops might have a road force tester. i did mine mt self and have had no problems. i can not hear the rear end over my CAI or exhaust. a road force might fix the vibration problems. i have wrangler rs/a tires and the are almost gone at 21,000 mi they seem to be feathered this would cause road noise.
took mine back sat. the service manager took for a ride had never seen one with this vibration? went ahead and rotated the tires just to see if it changed anything. that did nothing at all. taking it in tueday to install the clips on the leaf springs, to see if takes car of the clicking-poping noise in the rearend. the service manger heard that also and didn't think it was that either. so we will see were it goes from here. not to happy with nissan or titan at this time. it is very discourging that the dealers don't have a clue.
I have 04 Titan LE. Whining in the rear started at 125000kms. Nissan tried to tell me it was the tranny but after 3 transmission shops assured me it was the rearend, I am having the pinion bearing etc changed out. The mechanic said that he could wiggle the driveshaft. Funny that the nissan idiot didn't pick up on that after being asked 3 times to check the Ujoints etc.
is this problem only on 4x4s? I have a 2006 king cab 4x2 se...should I be concerned that my rearend could go out too? What are some of the symptoms and how will I know if something is going wrong?
4x2 and 4x4 have rear end problems. My dealership has ordered (actually on backorder) shims for the rear axle as it is 1.5-2.0 degrees out of spec. They are pretty sure that this is setting up a harmonic vibration. I will keep everyone posted on progress, will know whether it works or not in a couple of weeks after parts come in.
STOP BY DEALER SUNDAY TO CHECK WITH SALESMAN ABOUT MY TRUCK PROGRESS......WELL PARTS WERE ORDERED ON THE 16TH. THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTILL THE 23RD OF NOV. NO CALL FROM THE SO CALLED SERVICE DEPT. UNTILL I STOPPED BY THERE AND TALKED TO THEM FIRST. NOW TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A VIBRATION WHEN THE AC IS ON. THE CLICKING NOISE IN THE REAR END CONTINUES. THE VIBRATION BETWEEN 25 AND 40 STILL THERE. I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS THERE TO THE SERVICE DEPT. MADE ARANGMENTS TO LEAVE IT 1 OF THOSE TIMES. AND STILL THEY HAVE NOT FIXED ANYTHING, EVEN THE LAST TIME I LEFT IT THEY WERE SUPOSED TO INSTALL THE CLIPS TO STOP THE CLICKING IN THE REAR END THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT. I WON'T EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK UNLESS I MUST, IT MAKES ME SO MAD TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A TRUCK AND HAVE SO MANY LITTLE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. I TOLD THEM WHEN I BRING IT BACK I WILL NOT COME BACK AND GET IT UNTILL ALL PROBLEMS ARE FIXED, OR THEY CAN WRITE ME A CHECK AND KEEP IT....UNHAPPY TITAN OWNER
