Default Clicking noise from the rear axle

So I just got my car monday, and I took it to nissan to ask them about the clicking noise, and they told me its coming from the rear axle not having the grease (passenger side) they quoted me $250 for that, (seems a little high)

what kind of price would be fair for this fix? I wont be able to do it on my own, for the lack of space and tools =/

Yeah that's fair for a Nissan dealer they charge 110 an hour.. and they go by the book for how long it takes.

It won't hurt anything to keep it as is. Mine has been like that since day one.

Maybe somebody local can give you a hand with it? It doesn't look too hard to do. I am going to try to do it too soon.

It's a really easy fix. all you haver to do is take the wheel off and take out six nuts holding the axle in. Take it out, clean it off antiseize it. put it all back together.
