so the other day i noticed a ticking noise coming from the left front wheel while rolling straight into my garage.
i jacked up the car and inspected my cv boots for tears, leaks and everything looked good
then i proceeded to grab the wheel and pull on it to see if it might be a wheel bearing... and got nothing
could this still be a bad Axle joint even tho the CV boots arent torn?

Problem SOLVED 
A while back i had the wheel removed to repair a flat at a local shop and when removing the wheel the impact gun snapped 2 studs off and where replaced
Well it seems that the new studs where never pressed in all the way and as it got hot while driving the studs would move in more causing the lugs to become loose.
I was using a torque wrench when remounting the wheels so everything seemed snug but with the studs unseated it did no good.
The more you know :rainbow:
