if its an axle im giving it a few days (like 300 miles) and it will start getting louder as in very loud. both mine did, and a bearing will usually just howl. best way to tell is does the noise stop when u let off the throttle? if it does then its the axle

na the hardest part is popping the ball joint loose, and a axle will prally cost ya round 50 bucks, and make sure you get the axle seal to.
