Yeah so today I had to change the rear and front brake pads off my wifes toyota avalon. Let me tell ya, she loves to ride those brakes. I told her to let them break in and seat before rides them again....lol...In the midst of my day I took my honda to a mechanic that has a lift. We lifted my car and I had the mechanic rotate the drivers side wheel, while I felt the connection between the half shaft and the intermediate shaft. It was rough and sloppy.
The mechanic said axles usually make a clicking sound when they go out and not a howling. He said that your used axle just might be a little sloppy. He said its more likely a wheel bearing.
The funny thing is, that this howling noise didnt happen until my mechanic that did my 5 speed swap(different guy) had to take my half shaft out because one of the cv boot clips was loose. When I picked up my car, thats when I heard the sound. Could it be the a$$hole that did my swap banged the half shaft too hard causing it to damage. Could he have somehow damaged the wheel bearing? I am kinda doubting the wheel bearing because this sound was noticed after he had reinstalled my half shaft.
What do you guys think????????
Should I get an axle replaced first or just get both done since its kinda easy to access the bearing when doing a half shaft replacement.
Hmm....I'd say definitely replace the wheel bearings and see if it solves your problem. Replacing the axles is a much easier job, and really only entails taking off 3 or 4 bolts and separating the ball joint. The hub will just swing out of the way after the ball joint is separated, allowing easy access to the axle.

There are certain words in arabic that muslims use when communicating with each other. Man u live so far its better if we just made a video or somtehing lol, jk its better if u just take ur hub off and then take it to a shop to take the old one out and press in the new bearing....
