My van has been doing the same.  I know it's not a CV, as I just
replaced both my shafts.  ($150 ea(Cdn)/from Canadian Tire).  I've been
trying to isolate the same problem.  I almost suspect a wheel bearing,
but they usually hum before they get that bad.  I will take Ken's
suggestion and checkout my shocks.
