Post CV half shaft installation grinding noise at times
I have a 98 accord ex
Just got finished changing out some of the front end suspension (tie rods/ball joints/sway bars and CV axle/joints)
Everything went smooth until the half shaft/passenger side cv axle,
After fighting to get it out and installation/ took it out on a test drive and i'm getting a slight grind metal scraping noise from the passenger half shaft.
lifted the vehicle, and spun the wheels to see if i could repeat the noise but it sounded good.
Only when its not lifted do i hear this noise, there isnt really a way to put the half shaft back in incorrectly is there?
The only thing i can think of is maybe the threads on the inner cv axle arent lubricated enough?

got the drivers side cv joint out/ inspected. everythings fine with it, no noise or loosness. My next attempt is going to be going for the wheel bearings.
Cars at 214 k miles, see if this fixes the noise. (I have hope
