CV axle maybe?
CV axle maybe?
Last night it was raining very hard, and before then I had NO issue what so ever. I was exiting and noticed the car in front of me went through a HUGE puddle built up on the dip on this exit ramp - and I slowed down to about 35-40 to go through it, and it felt as if I hit a curb!! - It broke my zip ties off and nearly yanked off my bumper. After making it through it, I started noticing a loud knock ever so often coming from the driver side wheel.
Now today it got WAY WORSE... It sounds like a train going over tracks, or when you have a heavy item in the dryer... It is disgustingly loud and I hear it at all speeds whether straight or turning...
Did this mass of water break my CV axle?? Is there anything else I should check out? - I need to shange my brake pads and before I go buy them, I want to figure out what else I will need to pick up.

I'm not driving it, just drove it to make the video. I'm no fool, shoot, I park it even if I have a spare tire on. That noise sucks, I hope its just the Cv or hub assembly. Strange that I never heard a Peel til I hit that fkn puddle. 
Cmon folks, any help is super appreciated. I refuse to take it to a shop for things like this

Naboo I can take a look at your car to give you an idea of what it could be. I'm in SA as well, that's where you are right?

Yes mania. Pm me w ur availability and number. I stay by zarzamora but the car is off marbach. Would be forever grateful man. Trying to get everything straight before I move to Wisconsin
Not the best pic really, I can't get everything off and put it on a jack stand until I have more time... Nothing looks like it is banging or hitting anything - The sound is only when car is in motion.
BUMP!!! - I have ordered a hub assembly for my passenger side and brake pads all around, also spacers for my wheels - if no one can give me any input, I suppose I will just replace everything darnit!! Next will be axles...
NO ONE has ever heard a noise like this before???
