    Horrible road noise from 25+mph. No real affect on steering feel. Car doesnt sputter, slip or anything. Nothing affecting performance. Slight vibration is felt on floor and steering wheel.

    What ive done:
    Wheel bearing replaced.

    Local buddy help me jack up car, remove wheels and slowly accelerrate to find the noise. Definetely coming from driver side axle near tranny.

    Any help on what would cause this and what I need to fix this would be GREATLY appreciate!

    Kind of hard to tell from the video. But if the noise comes from near the trans-axle is there free play in the inner cv-joint? Is the boot ok?
