Rubbing like noise in D after start up

I did do quick search in the forum.
So the car is the 07 Grand Prix. The fluid level seems fine, right at the operating level at the low of the cross hatch, I checked another day the fluid was within, perhaps I didn't check it properly the first time....

Mostly in D, but seldom in R, there seems to be a noise coming from the engine bay, driver side, like somethings engaging.. but only when moving this happens. E.g. reverse out, hit the brake, change gears, get on the gas, or roll forward, then I hear the noise like a half turn or something... sounds like something's engaging, or rubbing into place. It does not do this from the stops lights... It does after I shut off the car, fill up gas, then get going again.

The dealer only resurfaced the disks. The CV joint axle nut is rusted badly, even the threads. Any ideas?

I looked again and found this:

But don't even have to wait ten minutes, plus feel it in the wheel. I must admit that we took the driver side wheel off, where the noise originates from.. and the axle nut, cv joint threads is rusted badly, like the threads are finished...

Thank you.

hi..
I dunno... it happens after I start the car, put in R, get out of the driveway, put it in D, and after about one rotation.. then it does the noise, and doesn't do it until the car is shut off and restarted.

I checked the transmission fluid again today twice, and it looks fine.
