The car is making noise when I jack up only the driver side and put it in gear it make humming sound it became louder when I push more gas it make more noise when it shift from 2nd to 3rd than from first to second and it make more noise when it shift from 3rd to 4 th than from 2 nd to 3 rd. So I replaced the driver cv axle now the noise isless louder but its still there.

Note the front engine mount is bad could it responsible for this noise and how to make sure its the engine mount I do not want to put parts like that I want to make sure

what other things could causes this noise

Do this put the wheel off the ground put it in neutral put one hand on the coil spring of the strut. Use the other hand to spin the wheel as fast as you can. See if you can feel the bad wheel bearing in the coil spring. Check both sides to each other.

Sounds like a bad left front wheel bearing. Did you do what I suggested to you about checking the bearings?

Anything is possible I cant hear the noise and where its coming from. Check both front wheel bearings and see if one of them is bad. Let's start there first.

I jacked up the front wheel and I put the car in drive the first noise that I heard is from the front passenger side it is a scraping noise but stopped in second ( its like the dust shield is touching the rotor)after I put my hand on the upper control arm of the passenger side I felt like something is touching other things and I felt it once per each rotation. I did again the swerving drive test and I hear the noise when the car goes straight or left however it disappear when I swerve to the right.

Check the left front wheel bearing exactly like I told you spinning the wheel by hand in neutral with the other hand in the coil spring. Let me know what you find also check the right front the same way. When the noise stops swerving right usually means you have a bad left wheel bearing.

I always use the coil spring if you feel roughness then you have a bad bearing as long as nothing else is scraping like the dust shield etc.

I felt nothing when I put my hand in the spring in both front wheel
could it be the rear passenger wheel bearing? When I drive the car I hear the roaring sound in the front passenger side. Could the sound travel from the back to the front?

So did you put your hand on the upper control arm on the left front to feel roughness?If so did you feel any? You shouldn't be feeling roughness. You can do the same in the back to check for bad bearings. Check them all just to be sure.

With the noise going away when you swerve one direction that's a wheel bearing anytime I have ran across that it has been a bad wheel bearing. To put your mind at ease pop the axle end out of the hub you felt the roughness. Then spin the hub without the axle end in it as fast as you can. Let me know what you feel. And hear.

I have another concern
I replace the driver side cv axle last week. Today I checked underneath the car I saw transmission fluid I came from the passenger side cv axle exactly from the inner cv joint where it goes in the differential
is it normal that when you replace one cv axle the other cv axle comes out from the transmission?
What could causes that?

Week ago I replaced driver side cv axle. Today I checked underneth the car and I saw transmission fluid on the ground. I jacked up the car and see it leaking from where the passenger inner cv axle goes in the transmission. It was not leaking before I replaced the driver side cv axle.

Could the driver side cv axle pushed out the driver cv axle?Or what could causes that leak
