I just put in two brand new front axles, replaced every ball joint in the front end, and put in brand new tie rods. I then got a front end alignment, and the next day, i start hearing a soft sound, like the beating of a helicopter's blades, and it gets continually louder until it feels and sounds like i've got a flt tire, but all the tires are 100% fine. It makes the noise whether the clutch is in or the accelerator is pushed, and it got continually worse.

I have no idea what could be wrong! EVERYTHING in the front end is new, and now it's making wierd noises! HELP!

 

The axles are tightened(32mm nut) down into the hub all the way right?

 

jack the car up and spin the wheels to see where the sound is coming from. Sounds like an axle issue.........

your not leaking fluid right?

Make sure your dust shields aren't rubbing the rotor too.

did you replace your brakes? it could be your brake rotors, they could be warped.

 

Seperated belt in the tire?

I had to remove the rotors to reduce weight to to ease the fitment of new ball joints. Maybe that's it? I'll jack it up tonight and check for leaks and such.
