Default Bad Axle?

Wuts the diagnosis of a bad axle?? Would it make a sound or something?

My car sound like going in a tunnel and I just replaced the bearing. It could also be the road noise on my parada which also have bad treads....

One way to tell if your axle is going south is to, in reverse, cirle a tight radius. In ther words, Go around and around in circles in reverse. You should, or someone outside your vehicle, hear a ticking sound.

even if the boot is in tact his spindles could be bad - he should turn his wheels tight listen for clicking or clunking from his wheel area- if he does that potentially the axel.
