No. I'm idiot. I just figured out what everyone was referring to when asking if the inner bolts were loose. I thought y'all were talking about the flange bolts.

I assume I need to pull the axle out to remove the dust cover so I can inspect the inner bolts. It cant be done in place?

Also, there are no noises coming from the rear end when driving. It's tough to hear anything other than the exhaust. There is very little movement of the axles/cv joints up and down or in and out. Very minimum. Less than 1/16"

Thanks, Mike
