No noise at all....I tugged, pull, turn on it to check for cracks. I found a small crack, nothing major. Then i put the hub on, got everything tighten..turn the hub it acted like it didnt want to turn..when it finally turn it was a clicking noise...

it is posible u didnt quite get the hub seated right you should remove it again and check for any forigen objects that may have comprimised the install , also make sure your upper bolts face up and your lowerbolts face down check your hub actuator really well any magnetic material will be atracted to this area clean well
