Took care of my clicking problem today. Thanks for the link Blue Dream, it was very helpful. I had trouble finding M77 grease in any of the auto parts stores, so I just used some waterproof axle/bearing grease I had laying around, and it seemed to work good. The only difficult part was getting the axle out, since mine was the drivers side and therefore the exhaust was in the way. removing the sway bar out of the way would have probably helped make it easier, but I was able to contort the axle in and out without having to.

It comes in a tube. I used my hands and greased the splines and the shaft.

you just need about a tablespoon or two of grease. I put a good layer on the flat surface, and just a light coat on the splines.

That's what I used except mine came in a tube not a tub. Can't speak for the other but like I said above I've got 40K on the Valvoline with no click so I'm happy with it.

I have this issue as well and getting ready to fix it, but I just have a hard time understanding and beliving that grease will fix the issue long term. Stillen says there are nylon bushings in the diff that are an issue as well. There was a link to a video on this fix, but I can't find it now.
Thanks,

You'll notice the description says it's Moly-fortified, which is the same substance found in this all elusive Nissan spec "molykote m77"
