There is a TSB for it, but I doubt your '03 is still under warranty.
I had it done on mine. You might want to give Lokey a call and see. Maybe it falls under the longer driveline warranty and they will still do it. Can't hurt to ask.
It also might be a good idea for them to look at it in case it is not what we all think it is. It could be some other problem that might be more dangerous or expensive to fix. Be good to get it checked out.

Hello.
If this is indeed the axle issue with the TSB mentioned by a few other members above, it would be covered by your Basic 4 year/60,000 Mile Warranty. This is not covered by the vehicle's 6 year/70,000 Mile Powertrain warranty. In the TSB, the axle hardware is replaced and the axle splines are thoroughly greased.
