Loud clunking noise

Whenever I shift from Park to Drive or reverse, there's a clunking noise coming from the rear passenger tire area. I've got BC racing coilovers, and everything is tight back there. I pulled the wheel off and everything seems to be in order. It doesn't make any clunking noise when going over bumps or hard dips. I don't understand and I"m worried about it.

Any ideas?

Is it more of a click than a clunk? Sounds like noisy cv axles to me. Mine make a little bit of a click when I shift from park

It don't sound like a click to me. More like something is shifting or moving when I move from park to reverse/drive.

It's the load on the drivetrain when shifting into reverse or drive.

Now that I've really paid attention to it and got someone else to move the car while I'm outside of it. It is more of a click sound.

So is it the rear axle click?

Most likely. My car used to do this when it was AT, only when going into R or D.

There was a service bulletin from Nissan on this. The grease they used would dry up prematurely....how I dont know. Get some good moly grease, remove your axles and regrease the joint. Have fun its a PITA.

Well it isn't the axle click. Removed the axle, which wasn't bad and greased it with moly grease. Put everything back on and it's still making the sound. The slight click is gone, but it's a really loud creaking sound. I'm at a loss now,and I'm scared to drive the car honestly.

EDIT:

Well after taking the car to get it aligned, the technician noted that the spc camber arms were differently lengths and the nut itself wasn't tight. So now after getting it aligned and all snug, the car feels like the G35 that I love to drive. Thanks for all the help guys.
