Try squirting some CV grease in there using Stan Wilder's modified grease gun method. See link below for a photo of tools needed. If the vibration disappears with more grease in there, problem solved. Force the grease toward the CV once you squirt it in there under the boot as close to the bearings as possible by massaging the rubber boot with your hands. Remember to wear rubber gloves. http://members.cox.net/holisticdream/greasegunvanagon.html William
