Re: Strange (((((shake))))) in the front right wheel under acceleration
Check brake components and suspension components (tie rods) on both sides.
Usually CV Joints are noisy in the turns, but anything is possible.
Also check the torque on the wheel lug bolts!

A CV on the way out will either knock (if it's really screwed) or tug at
the wheel rythmically (if it's on it's way) on a turn under
accelleration. Most noticeable at low speed with a high torque loading.

Thats it... thats exactly what its doing.. Tugging at the wheel
rhythmically in a turn under acceleration. Its like you were riding in
the car with me!!!
Now.... What can I expect to pay a shop to have the entire CV axle
swapped out? This something I can do in my driveway with the right
hardware? Should I change the whole axle... or just the offending
joint?
Thanks for all the answers fellas.....
