Default Still getting the axle click

i finally got tired of hearing the clicking noise while driving (accel,decel,shifting) so i got under the car and pulled the axles off. I lubed them up (used the writeup here on the site) and put them back in. Ive noticed that the duration of the clicking is a little shorter, but it still clicks during accel,decel, and shifting.

so does this mean i need to start considering the differential to be the issue? or is it still axle related?

**i dont know if this is related or not, but i also have a leaking rear diff bushing**

Can't really help, I followed the axle procedure and my clicking went away.

As a 4 year member you should know that the TSB for clicking is more complicated than lubing the axle. You completed a half-*** fix and got half-*** results.
