Check the front driver side CV axle. It could of been the initial issue or was contributing to it along with the hub. Check the boots for tears/damage etc. Debris in the CV is like sand in an engine, just grinding away at the bearings. Reach in and give it a tug/twist, it shouldnt move.

Sounds like a bad cv axle. Sometimes even tough they do not leak grease or boot gets torn, they’ll still wear out internally and make noise.

So I took the wheel off my self and. Priced right away my upper ball joint on the upper control arm is leaking and cracked. How did the dealer not see this???

I can’t see this though cause the noise while driving. The vibration as slow speeds def, but the highway noise no.

The cv axle doesn’t appear to have any leaking boot or cracked book.
