Default axle joint clicking fix

some ppl said tightening and relubing the bolts on the axle
but the TSB says replace axle joints and bearings

so which one is right?

my dealer refused to fix mine because of my JIC suspension
any suggestions on how to fix it myself??

thanks

They ordered the parts for me, go to nissanhelp.com they have the TSB for this, "Rear axle clicking noise" mine started off quietly and now is to the point where it sounds like something might fall off

My dealer described it as 'lubed the splines and replaced the bolts according to TSB'.

I have the stock suspension but they just performed the TSB yesterday for the clicking and the car (in respect to the rear clicking) is perfect now, no noise at all. They also performed the front "THUD/POP" noise when making u-turns, etc and that has not shown its ugly face yet, so I'm happy to say the least.
