Front CV axle bad? Card in spoke sound.

[Ram7081]

Passenger side now has the card in the spoke sound when driving or coming to a stop. Even turning.
It has an Eibach level lift. Its had a level lift on it for 25k to 30k miles or so. No offroad nor towing.
Thinking CV axle? Thoughts?

Jack it up, spin the wheels, listen and check for play. That much noise it should be obvious enough. Sometimes it's a wheel bearing failure causing the shaft to bind so sooner than later so you don't have to replace more parts than you'd otherwise have to.

When I jacked it up I dont hear that same noise.

Grinding at all? Spin both sides to see if there's a difference

Yes, I'd say it sounds like sand paper on sand paper. Nothing crazy, but I do hear that. I assumed it was pads on rotors sound I heard.

I do feel like it clunks on braking right before it stops also.

brakes will make a little light grinding noise, you could spin a rear wheel for comparison. Any abs lights as sometimes a bad bearing will set that off due to the sensor in the hub? Also possible it's coming from one of the u-joints to the rear driveline. A bit of clunking on braking is somewhat normal with play in the trans/transfer case and diff. Depending on mileage and temps

The sound is very close to this at 1:15 on video. I assume its it then?

Solid jack stands and a helper to spin and wiggle wheels while you check the driveline would be usefull. A hoist even more so, but that's a luxury many of us don't have

It sounds like a fair chance, but will get the same noise from either side or any u-joint failure so best to check them all with the truck off the ground for play before going to all the work to change the wrong one.
