i found a good DIY on my350z.com... infiniti does have a the TSB for this problem.. http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drive...rear-axle.html

i replace both right side and left side axle bolts/nuts/washers and 2 cotter pins

this is a picture before i cleaned the axle all rusted and dry

this is a picture of the axle cleaned and ready to apply the new grease i used this "MAG1 EXTREME PRESSURE MOLY GREASE SUPER LITHIUM" that i got from pepboys it cost me about $5 for the whole tube

if your going to repair both sides like i did your going to have to do one side at a time

May be a stupid question lol but is a TSB a recall? If I called my nearest Infiniti dealer and told them about the clicking problem would they fix it for free? I have a 05 x and I have the clicking whenever I put it into gear and I absolutely hate it

TSB are not free.

Unless you have some type of warranty and even then it might not cover it.

Best to DIY or pay someone to do it. Ive tired to do this once when i had the time, but the bolts that held the axle gave me trouble and i gave up. I didn't try very hard tho... LOL
