    I have an 01 primera hearing a clicking sound from the rear driverside wheel. I noticed it stops when you lift the hand brake a little so i tightened it, this made no difference. Anyone have any Ideas????

    clicking sound? Front wheel or back? But is it the oily bits just cooling down after a drive?

    When do you hear the noise, cornering, full lock etc? is the car stationery when you pull the handbrake? :pac:

    Thanks for the replies.
    I Hear the noise while driving and if you lift the handbrake a little while driving it stops for a minute or two after you release it. Hence i tought it might be the handbrake tightened that didnt make difference.Checked the boots on the front recently there perfect so i dont think its the cv joints. Had new pads fitted about 3k miles ago and discs seem ok.

    had the rear discs changed recently so could it still be that?

    I'm not a mechanic BTW. Just sharing my experience. Easy enough to see - jack up wheel and see if it spins freely with handbrake off. Make sure you have car suitably stablised by other means in case it rolls.
