Why did you then drive it?
I tightened up all possible culprits in the area. That was a story all in its own. 1 bolt was too short to grab and one was stripped. i had to tap it and remember I was a week out of surgery after my ankle spun 90 degrees. I didnt want to bore everyone with each and every detail of my debacle. Just pointing out that the car was delivered to me in that condition. It was the first sign that it was thrown together, not tested properly, etc. Pride in craftsmanship thing...

Trust me when I say the story is worse than I described. I am a man of few words. If I could grunt to communicate I would.
