Has anyone heard of a bad CV joint that makes a noise other than the clicking we've all heard?
Between the axle and hub is a wheel bearing washer/cover. It appears it was damaged when the installer pried the ABS ring off the end. Now warped it would sometimes hang on the hub and spin causing the noise. Removal ended the noise.
