Rattleing and grinding comeing from the front drivetrain...

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i'm thinking that axle nut isnt tight enough, or has backed off a bit since
the repair.
with that nut, you basically put all the torque you possibly can on it.
if this has happened at all, bearing is probably toast.
