NEED HELP...Passenger side area...Wobble like sound
Alright as some of you know I removed my trans to get new diff. bearings. That is fixed now but in the process of removing the passenger axle I pulled the inner joint out and it was inside the boot. I carefully pried the boot apart and got the joint back in and the ring on. So I install everything back on my car and when I went to drive today I was getting a wobble/whine noise and something causing something to vibrate. The wobble sound goes away once I get to a steady speed and it turns into a whine type noise(hard to describe) and there is something vibrating also. All this is happening on the passenger side. So I know it is not trans related. There is no noise unless I am moving. I have no vibration in the steering wheel. The noise is continious going straight or turning. I did not have this problem before I took out the trans.
If anyone knows anything please let me know as I would like to have my car fully running correctly ASAP
Also does anyone know why my alignment is off when I didnt take anything off but undo the lower strut bolts? My toe and camber are off. I can understand the camber being off as the strut allows for some camber adjustment. But my toe being off when I didnt touch the tie rods? Steering wheel sitting to the side.

Well I drove it today. And from what I can tell now it is just a constant rubbing type noise. But I jacked the car up and slowly turned the wheel and got a click noise as it rotated so I went and bought a new axle. From what I could tell the noise was coming from the inner cv joint. That where I ripped the joint out into the boot at. So I guess I screwed it up. lol I put the joint back in but guess it not aligned proper or I broke something when it ripped out.
