I just finished replacing my driver's side axle on my b16a1 crx. When i took it for a test drive the car was making this grinding sound that sounds like a bad wheel bearing. The car wasn't making the grinding noise before I replaced the axle. So I don't think it's a bad wheel bearing. Anybody have any ideas what this could be? TIA

 

Let me guess.....generic auto parts store reman axle???

 

try to check the dust shield on the back of the rotor it might be hitting the rotor while driving. also don't believe it to be the axle.

 

this is a long shot but are they lubed?

Yup they're generic remaned axles . I already took out the dust ring on the inside part of the hub. And the axles are lubed. i'm stumped right now. Any more suggestions? Thanks

 

Not the dust ring for the axles, the shield for the rotor... Make sure it isnt touching the rotor.

 

anybody?
