Default Popping/Clicking noise from rear end

Hello S2ki friends...I not mechanically inclined enough to troubleshoot the noise I have been hearing for about 3,000 miles.

I own and 06 and I have noticed a slight popping/clicking type sound only when starting from a stop or a change in acceleration at slow speeds (like when I let off the gas pedal) from the rear end. Its not loud enough to pinpoint while driving. I figured it was the diff and am going to change the oil this weekend. I have looked around the forums a bit and seen a lot of people saying it could be the Rear Axel Nut, do these symptoms fit that? Is there anyway to tell or test it?

Also I live right beside a Honda dealership and people are saying there is a TSB for that how do I go about getting it fixed.

Thanks for any help!

Check axle nuts as its a very simple procedure.then report back. I had a similar issue clicking from takeoff or slowing down under 10mph. Axle nuts were loose.

Got the car on a lift this weekend and changed the diff fluid/tightened the axle nut. Noise has stopped. I am going to stay it was the axle nut, it was loosened to the minimum of the stake being in the in spec area(yellow line). I wasn't able to tighten it pass the tightest of the yellow line but seemed to fix the problem.
