Strange sounds after install

Hello org, it's been a few years since I've posted, glad to see its still active. Quick question. I just put in a new cv boot on my 97 maxima. Everything seemed fine till I hit around 10-15 mph. I hear a slight rubbing sound, as I speed up the sound gets faster and faster. I thinks the axles still good because I hear no clicking when I make turns. Don't have a clue what it could be. Maybe I didn't put enough grease? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Three things come to mind.

1. The axle is rubbing against the plastic shroud in the wheelwell.

2. The straps on the boots are not tight enough so the smaller end of the boot is rubbing along the axle shaft

3. The brakes are rubbing or the ABS wire is rubbing against your rim/tire if you forgot to secure it

possibly just bumped something like the backing plate on the brakes and made it touch the rotor? or fuged the front wheel bearing somehow?
