i was under there a couple of times b4 deciding to rip out the axle to tighten everything up, but it was still making the noise, so hopefuly the new axle will do the trick.. i should have it tomorrow when the salvage yard makes there deliverys to my side of the state.

I was thought my CV was gone, only later to find out it was a strut mount/strut bearing. I never got around to taking it out though, sorry i couldnt help you.
Sorry for the OT, its boring at work today.
