I replaced my passenger side cv axle yesterday and afterwards had some whining noise coming from it. It sounded like when a belt (altenator, A/C, etc) is whining.....I drove the truck up to around 55mph for about 3 miles and it pretty much went away. This morning it did it for about 100ft, after I had been driving a few miles, and then stopped.

It sounds like to me that the rubber boots needed to loosen up and break-in, does this makes sense??? It didn't sound like bearing noise to me, more like rubber against metal than metal to metal.

When I lift the front end and spun the wheel by hand it sounds smooth and clean.

Thanks for any inputs.
