Unhappy Annoying click sound coming from rear

I remember reading a thread regarding a clicking noise people have been hearing due to a loose bolt in the axle. Is this correct?? This noise is driving me crazy. Also, is this a TSB thing cuz it seems like several people have been having the same issue.

Appreciate any help and what I need to do to solve the problem.

You could try that fix. Remove the spindle bolt in the rear (use a screwdriver to "unpinch the bolt", lube up the spline and retorque the bolt to 220lbs/ft. Remember to "pinch" the bolt after you're done. If that doesn't solve your problem, it maybe you're cv joints.

since your pos gpw is under warranty, just go to the dealer, they'll just lubricate the some axle joints, maybe retorque them, and you'll be good to go...

I just got mine fixed today. It's the axle spindle nut (two?) dealer had to regrease, install new axle spindle nuts and retorque. The noise is gone.

You would hear one click when you started rolling forward or reverse or going over a speed bump.

Yup. Thats it.

I hear it costs around $90 to replace the nuts and re-grease????

So, is this problem damaging if unresolved. What will happen if you just don't do anything about it? I've had this noise off and on for about a year now, but since I only drive the car about once a week I've haven't done anything about it yet. I guess I should get it taken care of already.
