also worth checking before buying new shafts (as i did)

on the inner cv joint , check if there is actually grease in there

mine was full of hard black crud , and the shaft couldn't move thus causing me the have a horrable vibration

have you had the tracking checked? might be worth getting that checked before replacing cv joint and drive shafts. and they might even find the fault for you if there is a fault (i did say MIGHT)

try the cheapest thing available mate, my mate had the same problem but a lot worse in the 35mph speed. got the front tyres changed and balanced and it was gone. completly shocked me because i thought it would be something a lot worse then just what it was.

plus it only cost £8 each wheel to be balanced
