Default TSB's regarding the wheel click

Hope someone can help. I have the clicking problem in MY01, right rear. I've re-torqued the wheel nut twice, and the clicking came back after about 2 weeks. I've talked to a dealer that stated they've never heard about this problem. I found a post somewhere that listed:

"Service Bulletin 011201 Sequence Number: 627 Clicking Rear replaced Hub Nuts"

I also found on the NHTSA Site:
" Service Bulletin 1204 Item No. 10018085 Power Train:Axle Assembly"...Rear Axle Creak or Grunt Noise at Low Speeds.

I was not able to find either TSB on this site. I really want to get this taken care of before a track day in June. Any help?

The car only has 16,000 miles on it. Thanks!

You may want to apply grease to the driveshaft splines where they spline to the hub in addition to replacing the nuts, applying grease where the nut contacts the hub and re-torquing to the new torque.

When it gets worse you get a 'metallic moan' this means your hub is ruined and you will need to replace the hub and bearing..

Get that hub nut tighten to 220 ft lbs and all will be good if it isn't too late.
