Default 2008 350z rear axle 'click'

My 2008 base 350z w/ 39,000 miles started the rear axle click on me. Happened about 1K/2K miles ago. Is it this something that is bad on the car? Not really in a rush to fix it and won't for awhile if it causes no harm. Just annoying I guess. Please let me know if I should leave it or fix it.

Thanks in advance,

Mason

Yeup search bar is your friend, but long story short, the part of the axle that goes into the diff needs to be greased... Gotta get mine done too :/

Um... no

The part of the axle that goes into the hub needs grease. Not the stub axle.
