    diagnose problem

    I changed drivers side drive shaft 2 weeks ago. Now when I'm driving there is a whistling noise that speeds up and slow down with my speed.

    It started a week later. Can't check till Saturday hoping it can be ok to drive!

    It was nut behind the wheel. Took wheel off and had excessive play. It had started to undo the nylon part broke put some nut lock glue and tightened it back up.

    Cheers guys
