Did begin making a slight noise when slowing down to a stop which seemed revolution based with the wheels. If I had any idea that was something that could have caused such, I wouldn't have waited for it to get worse. Was thinking a CV on its way.

So, let's all who see this know its a critical part that should be inspected annually and probably just replaced every 50 to 75k.
