At low speed when I first push or release the gas, I hear a click sound like it is in the dash. Has anyone noticed this? The van operates fine, but I notice the little sound at times.

Huge thanks for the link to the Nord-Lock washer solution!
In my case the clicking sound hasn't returned yet, but the Nord-Lock washers have been ordered so they can be installed at the first sign the clicking has returned. OR....if we go on a long trip. Whichever comes first.

Yes, Nord-Locks can be re-used if disassembly is required at some point. The washer halves will come apart, though, so you must be sure to inspect and reassemble in the correct orientation.
Here's a video from Nord-Lock showing the proper steps for re-using the washers.

Ok, so just to be clear on this if I want to do both front axle nuts I need 2 sets of these so 4 washers total? I'd order quantity x2 of this?
NL22sp, Lock Washer Steel
This product is suitable for all general applications. Washers with an enlarged outer diameter (SP) have the same inner diameter as the standard washers. They are designed to be used together with flanged bolts and nuts (ISO 4161,4162) on oversized and slotted holes, or on sensitive surfaces and...

Thanks!
Wait.. I think you’d need two washers per axle to work. One washer serrations locks against the axle nut and the other one locks against the hub, please correct me if I’m wrong..
This is why I order two sets (4 washers in total): two for each axle.

I see. Ok, I may have read it wrong. I was guiding my self by the two washers in the picture. If that’s the case I’ll return one set then.

Let us know when they come if you received 4 washers total. If I understand their operation right, you will need four total (2 per axle).
This is correct. You do not need to purchase two packs.
Just to clarify, what Nord-Lock considers one washer is actually a pair of washer halves that are pre-assembled (glued together) from the factory. This wedge lock system works by using two washer halves (each with a cam side and serration side). If you purchase quantity one (1) of the NL22sp part number you will receive two complete washers (i.e. two sets of glued-together halves) and this will do both axles. You do not need to purchase two sets of washers.
If you guys watch the video I posted above, it will illustrate how the original set that you buy comes with the washer halves glued together. The glue is broken upon initial installation and if, in the future, you end up disassembling the setup, then you will have two washer halves to contend with.

Got it, thanks for the clarification. I can see this being the go to DIY fix for this...
Yup.. I agree with SitKneelBend.
A much better option than my idea of drilling the Axle nuts and securing it to the axle with safety wire. lol

To be fair, that is probably an excellent idea so long as you get it right the first time and repeat it correctly the second!
I highly suggest to anyone trying either a re-torque or any type of fix mentioned here to use a white marker to mark the axle. This is the only way to really confirm the nut has moved.
As for the Nord-Lock washer, someone had mentioned to me that GM had seen the same issue with the axle nut during the Chevy Bolt development and had to use a special washer. I have no idea about the design of that particular washer, but I find it interesting we may have stumbled onto something similar.

And the actual washer:

From the looks of it, that washer is actually between the axle and driveshaft. So not on the outside with the axle nut. The symptom is similar thought, when this washer rusts or wears out it creates a gap for the axle noise to happen.
My disk/outside of axle did have significant rust dust considering it was only a few months old at the time. But now with my double nut fix it's still holding, so who knows. This also wouldn't explain why the nut physically backed out.

I have a 2022 FWD that started making the clicking noise, just checked my axle nuts, the driver was at 180 and the passenger was at, 120. I torqued both sides to 185ft/lb and the clicking is gone.
