Default What is this clicking?

A little "click" noise happens almost every time I accelerate normally and sometimes decelerate out of 1st gear. It occurs once in a while for 2nd gear too. I can hear it coming from the rear driver side.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Rear axle click. Mine had it 3 weeks ago. You need to remove the rear axles grease the splines and hub then bolt and torque everything back up and no more click. Theres a Nissan TSB on it somewhere on here.

Damn. Is it a serious issue? I drive my car daily, about 100 a day, and other than that click everything else works fine. Is it a big job to do for the shop?
