The whole axle assembly twists up far enough at take-off to make the drive shaft assy. flip upwards and hit the limits of the center bearing. When your slowing down and just before the wheels stop spinning you'll get a clunk as well, the opposite is happening.
The Nissan Tech is going to get the engineers in California to look into this and see what a good fix would be. Personally I think traction bars would look cool......yes they would stop the axle wind-up but on a truck?????  I'm not sure what the overall fix will be but I will be sure to let everyone know.
