Is this what the Axle clicking sounds like?

I just got my g37 about two weeks ago. I'm loving it so far but I'm hearing what I believe are the axles clicking. The linked video is just me driving forward and backwards in my driveway since that's really the only time I hear it (moving forward/back from a stop.) I was hoping someone could chime in and say that this is indeed what I'm hearing. I've already been under the car with a rubber mallet trying to replicate with no luck. I'd appreciate any help I could get here!

Wasnt able to open up the YouTube video, but from what it sounds like, i dont think its your axles, maybe lower control arms bushings going bad. happens to most cars that i see. that clicking noise when you turn the wheel and drive slow over things. might want to look at the bushings first. if it was the axle youd hear it all the time.

I can't replicate the noise turning the wheel.

It was the axles. Took them off and cleaned/greased them and the noise is completely gone!
