D/S noiseeeee

With help from a org member we replaced the front d/s and p/s axles. It was fun.....

After a few days of driving I am hearing a new noise...

here is a video




It almost sounds like I am driving on a train track. Its annoying. I am not sure if it is the wheel bearings or not

It happens when I go straight, but when I turn to the left ever so slightly it goes away.

No internet diagnosis is going to help, jack it up, pull the wheels, check the axle nuts are tight, get underneath, wiggle and grab both sides of every joint and check for play. Could be the center bearing on the passanger side halfshaft as well.........

Axle nut might be loose or not tight enough, did you use an impact wrench? there could be play in you axle, also are you sure the three bolts on the bracket that hold the long shaft are on tight or is it spinning?

tighten that axle nut i think thats what we need to do. i don't know why it kept turning and didn't really get tight like the passenger nut.

Ok I was under the car and I had my brother wiggle the wheel. I looked at the axle and it was moving around ever so slightly, not sure if that is suppose to happen...

And the outer edge of my tire is being eaten alive.... on the driver side

yo how do you know when the drivers side axle pops in on an automatic transmission? will the car still drive (move forward) if it's not popped in?
