hey guys. last night ive been driving and i started to hear that noise that sounds like grinding metal. its not really loud but annoying and it comes from the driverside wheel. i think its the driverside axle cuz the boot was torn for a while. i have a replacement boot and grease to fix that up. do u think changing the boot would help or do i need to get a good axle?

my buddy had the same thing in his malibu.. i also thought it was a damaged boot but turns out that his shock mounts were messed up.
