I have been meaning to do that yesterday, but my work hours haven't allowed me too. I will today.

I'm in Burbank. I had the issue with the hub nut being loose a few months ago. I fixed that by torquing to 220 ft-lbs. This popped up all of a sudden. My friend has a shop, i'm probably going to run it over there today and see if we can narrow it down.

I do appreciate you wanting to give me a hand. If i can't diagnose it today, i will send you a PM.

After further investigation it sounds like its coming from right under the car, driveshaft area maybe.

Again thanks for reaching out to me.
