Heavy popping in left rear (U's? Half shafts?) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Actually over the years, I have had several that have failed and spit out the needle bearings before showing any signs of failure.

I agree, a peek under the car is the best.

Yup, me to. It wasn't on my Z but have seen depending on the position of the U joint missing needle bearings and very little noise. Time to stop driving it till you find the root cause.

This hub nut is loose - VERY SLIGHTLY loose.

Is there a torque spec?

How does it get measured?

Looks like 42.80mm across the flats???
