if you have a lift you can use or a jack and jackstands along with the proper tools and the grease you need then you can do it yourself and save some money. Thats what I recommend. On the infiniti site you can look up the procedures for accomplishing this objective

 

if you are under warranty still, go get it done for free!

IF YOU CONFIRM:
A “clicking” noise is coming from the left and/or right rear axle (driveshaft) when accelerating from a stop,
ACTION:
1. Determine if the noise is coming from one side or both sides.
• If the noise is coming from only one side, perform the Service Procedure on only one side.
• If the noise is coming from both sides, perform the Service Procedure on both sides.
2. Remove the driveshaft, clean the flange surface of the outer joint on the driveshaft and apply a moderate coat of Molykote M77 grease.
NOTE: This is the only approved service procedure to repair this incident.
IMPORTANT: The purpose of "ACTIONS" (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire Service Procedure (starting on page 3) as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.

Thanks for the help Gilley!

 

you can go to infinitihelp.com and look in the TSBs in the Knowledgebase section and find that axle click TSB. Maybe that will work for you.

 

I had the click. took it to infinti, they lubed everything and it has been fine since then (over a year). the tech told me the factory doesn't do a good job lubing it that's why you start hearing the clicking noise!
