    Hi everyone. I replaced the axles on my '90 Civic last summer due to torn
    boots. The passenger's side replacement was noisy, so I exchanged it for
    another. That one had a vibration while accelerating which I put up with
    until today. I swapped it under warranty and its replacement is slightly
    noisy. Sometimes while taking a right hand turn I get a scraping sound
    coming from it that continues for a ways after the corner. It's not the
    brakes because the sound continues if I apply the brakes. I'm getting real
    tired of replacing these things (but I am getting real good at it) and yes,
    I know, the brand I chose is not the best one. My question is, could I have
    done something wrong when installing it to cause this noise? Would over
    tourqueing the axle nut slightly cause this?

    Any help appreciated!

    Check your wheel bearings.
