axel is making a noise?
ok i was driving tonight for the first time in my h22a swap, and after about 15-20mph, the front passenger side made this noise that i cant really describe. It was like kinda what it would sound like if your lug nuts were loose and the wheel was wobbling, and i went 10mph all the way home. I get home and i jacked it back up, to find the axel is in fairly good shape.. and doesnt appear to be damaged. They are the correct axels for the swap (out of a teg, came w/ engine swap package). I'm confused, because on the jack i can't get it to make the same noise it was making on the road. The only thing i think it might be is the outside joint of the axel.. when i took it off and played around with it, it makes a grinding noise (like if you turn the end of the axel around clockwise you can hear it rubbing on something), so i think im going to try and just get a new axel tomorrow, and give it a go. Before i do that, and blow something up or break something that im unaware of, i wasnted to ask if anyone has any ideas on what else it could be, or what else i should check/replace.
TIA

Re: (iLUVmyHONDAcura)
i'm no where close to knowing exactly what im doing.. all i know is the inner cv boot, makes a 'normal'? squishy noise and i hear no grinding, the outer cv boot is the one i hear a 'different' grinding noise in... one thing that is annoying is i can't really test it while its in the air.. because the wishbone rubs the axel.., only when i put it back down does it have clearance (which i guess isnt a problem.. right?) as long as it clears while its on the ground, i shouldnt be having an issue..

Re: (tominos)
sorta, but it is deffinitely felt aswell as heard... like ****, its hard to explain.. almost like the sound of driving on a flat tire. It's rythmic, and very consistant with the speed of the car, anything over 15mph sets it off, once i get out of first and into 2nd or 3rd it gets slightly worse and or louder.
like when i drive and start from a light, all is good until like 10mph, then i can feel something wrong (slightly shaking/vibrating) and then a few mph later it starts making a "knocking" sound
