Well, just because you replaced the CV joints does not mean that they are ok. I realize you are an excellent mechanic and only use perfect parts. But I have had work done by professional mechanics, and still had problems with the same things they were supposed to have fixed. In fact recently using a very reputable local shop, I had to have work redone 3 times.
