Ok curious on what a damaged cv shaft would feel like, or if the bearings just really fd up. At the track yesterday and it was fine all day until the drive home.

I think you could only tell if you actually try to grab the shaft and move it by hand for the axle. A wheel bearing you should be able to turn the wheel in a circle and if you turn right and hear it, it is the left bearing going and that goes the same way for the other side too. Turn left and if you hear it, it is the right side.

But, if it's the axles bearing, like I said just grab it and see if it moves.

Well both my assumptions were wrong.. I was missing two wheel nuts thanks to ford... I got two more for the ones that fell off and then went around to torque all the other wheels... And non were torqued.. Gotta love ford dealerships

or just do your own work and don't take it to a dealership. thats the rule with my fo-fo, I tighten every bolt, or at least check em. Ive had the wrath of others mistakes mess s**t up and just not worth it at the end of the day.
