Clicking in the rear axle

Clicking in the rear axle
My G has recently acquired a habit of producing a sound best described as "clicking" coming from the rear on the passenger side when I accelerate at low speeds in 1st gear (it's an auto). It sounds like it's coming from the rear axle. Is this the problem that Infiniti has a TSB out for which is fixed by applying some sort of a lubricant or is this a warning sign of something more serious? Thanks.
On an unrelated note: how much camber should we be running in the back?

Took mine to two different dealers for the same issue now. I hear a loud clicking noise when the momentum of the vehicle shifts from braking or accelerating.
In fact, I just parked the car after picking it up from the second dealership for the clicking issue. Both dealers said they fixed the issue, but for some reason its still making the noise. I know its the same issue too because the loaner car they gave me was making the same exact noise when momentum was shifting. I hate to pester the dealer over such an issue, but how many times can they go and fix it before it stops?

I have the exact same problem, '05 5AT. I called my local dealer, told him about it, they said they're quite familiar with it, and I have an appointment Monday morning to get it fixed. It's not going to cost you anything if you still have warranty left on your car - 4 years/60,000 miles.
Bring it in to get it fixed.

Take it to the dealer. It's a known issue and a TSB. Rear axle clicking noise. They'll fix it under warranty for free.
