Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Have you checked the 6 bolts on the driveshaft, unlikely but worth a check!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had my Cayman 981 jacked up at the back today to ceramic coat my recently refurbed wheels. As I was undoing the drivers side rear wheel it rotated and made an unusual noise. It certainly wasn't the normal clunk that you get as the gears or diff use up any backlash, but almost a tinny rattle, lways repeateble as I rotated the wheel slightly. The nearside wheel when rotated to and fro just makes the normal clunk that that you would expect. Can't see anything externally loose, noise seems to be coming from the gearbox. Any suggestions? Car drives as normal, although I did hear similar noise a couple of weeks ago traversing a speed hump.

POST 2Original post

Have you checked the 6 bolts on the driveshaft, unlikely but worth a check! Possibly a YouTube vid of the sound would help someone give you an idea/area to look at.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’m going to jack it up again tomorrow and get my wife to rock the wheel whilst I get a closer look/listen. I’ll record the sound and report back- realise it’s hard to pinpoint a noise remotely. It’s my 4th porker and never noticed this phenomenon before.

POST 4Original post

ON a 996GT3 that I owned I sometimes heard a strange "boing/click" which I was told was a rotating spring ?? Edited by ChrisW. on Saturday 1st March 19:02

POST 6Original post

Yes that's a kind of singing noise ... generally they come out when you reverse the rotation of the wheel ...

POST 7Original post

kev b said: Stone trapped behind the backing plate? Most likely this and as said above reverse the car a decent distance and it should help. Sometimes forward and reverse a couple of time and it sorts itself out.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmmm, had trapped stones before rattling against the disc and backplate- this noise is more from the gearbox location, rather than outboard. I can have a better peep tomorrow with my lovely assistant!
