Mechanic came over today. It appears that you can move the whole wheel (side to side) like the hub is loose. We took the wheel off and put a washer behind the wheel nut which wasn't very tight (was as tight as could go) It was almost like there wasn't any thread left to tighten on.

Anyway it didn't fix it, So he is gonna grab a thicker washer, he hopes this will fix the noise. When he comes back tomorrow he's gonna take the whole thing apart and have a good look anyway.
