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.
