AT Sedan DOES have "rear axle click"
all these years (over 7), I've always thought the rear axle click was specific to MT coupes... I've never heard of AT sedan (or any sedan that I remember) ever having the issue.
Recently I noticed faint (but distinct) click/tick when moving into gear (reverse or drive) from park... It sounded like "rear axle click" but since that's typically been a coup thing, I've never paid a lot of attention to the symptoms or fix (there is a TSB btw).
Anyway, I mentioned to John at Temple City Auto and he was pretty sure it was the infamous "Rear Axle Click"... pulled the axle, lubed outer shaft with grease reinstall and sure enough, click is gone.
So in case you end up hearing the click - yes, in fact AT Sedans get it to.

First I'm hearing of this Diff issue. Can you elaborate in any way what you actually need to do to repair this? Ie. How far you have to diassemble the diff, if, at all? Or just pull axels out?

It's a pretty simple DIY. Drop the rear sway bar, undo the axle nut on each side, unbolt each axle from the diff, brush the splines with a wire brush, re-grease the splines, and re-install.

BTW, it's not a differential issue - its on the outside axle joint/shaft/splines - whatever you want to call it.

Our '05 AT had it, rear passenger side. My guy said "loose axle bolt" (meaning nut I think). Pulled the cotter pin, removed the old nut, put on a new one (because, he said "the 'locking' part of that nut isn't meant to be reused"), a new cotter pin, and that was that - quiet. No additional disassembly or greasing as far as I know...
