Default cv axle clicking

i heard a noise coming from the rear end and we jacked up the car and it sounds like the cv axle is starting to go out

its an 03 touring with the 6spd tranny and has a little over 62k miles

has anyone run into this problem before?

i know its a pretty easy fix but i just wasnt sure how common of a problem it was

thanks

Is it only audible at low revs?

I heard something about this a while back I actually think that there's a Nissan TSB out on it, that that it's a simple lubrication fix. I'm too lazy to do the homework and give you a reference right now, but there's a thread for you to pull on.
