Grinding on the axle

You could have broken the axle shaft. It can break in the cv joint and just spin or on some models the axle splines can strip out of the axle hub. The car usually won't move or it can move only a little and then stop with grinding noise.

Axles don't grind,they have more of a popping or
snapping sound.
Axles get replaced when the rubber boots tear &
water gets into the joints or the joints are making a
noise, as well as feel loose

I would hope the brakes were removed so the wheel
hub bearings could be felt for roughness when the axles
were out

I suspect that is your noise

Do both sides if that is the case.

The other possibility is worn transaxle differential
bearings. I am guessing you have an automatic

If you have a standard shift then there are many things
there that could cause noise

make sure the axle joint didn't fail then on the pass side of the car behind the axle there is a cover that houses the differential open that and check the gears in there

BAD WHEEL BEARINGS MAKE A GRINDING NOISE.WORN FRONT AXLE WILL MAKE A CLUNK NOISE OR CLICKING NOISE.

If the clutch is bad it would make the same noise in every gear, because the clutch does always the same engage and disengage the trans and its different gears. So if there is a noise in a specific gear the problem is the trans-axle ( if the noise is coming from the trans axle.)

not sure the question here? if your axle is making noise like a clicking grinding ratcheting type sound, then the cv joint is bad and need to be replaced. replace the axle as an assembly.

Sounds like the axel is not in all the way. There is a lock ring on the tranny side of the axle that needs to snap into place. Recommend pulling the axle, ensure the lock ring is in place on the axle and reinstall. Make sure the axle snaps into the tranny.

sound like rear axle bearings.

Probably the wheel bering. If your going down the road and turn to the passenger side and it gets worse, its the drivers side bering and visa versa.

mine did the samething you have check if there is any transmission fluid in your transfer case. because i didn't and i put more in and the grinding went away.
