How many have you had a inner cv go bad? The other ones are all tight. I expected a outer ones to get loose first.
I never hear of complaints on inner. Putting car away for winter doing fluids I caught really excessive torsional movement between shaft and cup on the inner CV. Rest are tight as can be. I was figuring I should change both shafts...You can't buy an inner CV that I can find. Or can you?
I've seen axle upgrades and some give you outer CV and upgraded shafts...BUT supposed to reuse inner. Well obviously that's no good and inner must not go bad ever if that's the case?
I don't race the car just fun driving so don't see need spending thousands in axle upgrades

Rubbing sound doesn't sound like a CV. You really should get it up in the air and check that out. I know many have experienced the axle nut coming loose on passage side, make sure to check that also.
