I have a noise from the front driver side tire when i took the wheel off there was what seems to be axle grease. No clicking noise when I turn. any suggestions

 

if the cv boot is torn on ur axle replace the axle (it has to be done anyways) but make sure to check because there may be grease there from an old axle that has been replaced.

then road test and see if the noise is still there. usually when you have a noise when driving it is the bearing. take the bearing out and check spin. you will be able to feel it if its bad. it will usually sound/feel like bad skateboard bearing when it is bad.

 

cv joint boot is torn when I spin the bearing no unusual noise or drag comming from it. I also rotated the tires still have the same noise.

 

replace axle and road test.

... did you remover bearing from spindle and check it of just spin in the housing?

if you didnt know you need to remove it to really check it

 

even with the cv boot being torn u maybe able to just replace the boot what kind of noise are you hearing wheel bearings going to be more of a howling grinding depending on how bad it is and axle would be clicking i just replaced passenger side wheel bearing on my accord if yours is anything like mine i put a new rotor on at the same time since they designed it my wheel bearing has to come out to replace rotor which sucks lol

 

The inners tend to make a clicking sound while the outers tend to make a metal rattling around sound.
