Not sure what this noise is. To me it kinda sounds like it's an axle's about to go, but let me some of your opinions. Maybe you know something that can help me out.

I have an '09 G37s coupe - 6 speed manual.

When I start out from a dead stop and start to roll forward I hear like a metal on metal kinda quite 'clink' coming from the rear on the driver side. It only happens sometimes, not all the time, and it's very faint. Mostly when the car has some sort of load transferring towards the rear - Like when I'm just starting out in 1st.

The best way to describe the actual sound to me is by thinking about a metal flag pole and hearing one of the metal rings that are attached to the ropes swinging back and forth hitting into the pole. That kinda clank/clink kinda noise.

My car is rather new but I have launched the car twice pretty hard. Anyone think my axle is going to break soon? Any info is appreciated.

 

Bump for some help.

 

There is a TSB for this-I believe they relube the u-joints in the half shafts.
