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.
