Not normally necessary once the axle is built to mess with the star wheels behind the two plates. As said they govern the depth of engagement/backlash of the crownwheel; if you do adjust them so that the pinion is now running on an unworn/less worn high spot on the crownwheel, the axle is likely to be even more noisy for some time.
Has the axle recently started making (more/new) noise? If the noise is different on drive and overun, it's likely that the pinion bearings, usually the thrusts which control the pinion mesh are needing attention.
