DriveShaft locking nut could cause noise in the wheel

at low speed and when turning. After trying almost everything (pads, rotors, calipers, tie rod end, susp. bushing, ...) I was about to replace the driveshaft (transaxle).
I had to go to a shop to get the nut loosen since it would not buge. The nut was away over-torqued. On my way home, I did a low speed circle/listen test and all scatching, clicking noise was gone ...
nonetheless, I went ahead and dismantled the driver's side transaxle, just to find out that the one I bought will not fit (bigger tripodes, smaller CV joint). Watch out for those "cheap" mail-order rebuilders ...
I cleaned both joint on my old one repacked with Castrol Synth grease both the CV and the inner tripode joint... and she runs like a charm now ...
So if you can't figure out the noise, check the wheel transaxle nut, it is supposed to be at 200 lb-ft.
Learning the hard way ...
