Axle clicking

Does anyone have issues with BOTH axles clicking on a 05 automatic? Passenger side clicks more than the driverside. Only does it when it's cold outside. Does anyon know what the price to replace them both? I'm pretty confident that I could replace them myself but don'y know part numbers.
:-(

When extremely cold outside the grease hardens and after warm up the noise should subside. As long as this is the case and none of the boots are split they will be fine. If any are split, it's time for replacement.

with OEM or aftermarket?? OEM will run about $8-900 installed at the dealer.

OEM axles run about $230-250 a piece. i had both replaced by my dealer (but under my MBI coverage for my insurance, since my warranty was expired). only cost me $250, insurance covered the rest.

some people have had good success with aftermarket, others...the axle goes bad in a year. so...up to you.

Wow! So you think a thinner grease should have been used instead of a thicker axle grease from the factory? I checked my boots and they were not split. Its just annoying to be sitting in your ride and everytime a sharp corner is made you hear that clicking noise. Reminds me of my ghetto 6th gen civic when the boots were leaking
