Weird shaking feel but where to start?
Tie rods usually make it feel wobbly or w/e when turning and warped rotors you feel it pulse/woble when braking. Well this does it usually when letting off the gas evenw ithout braking and some slow turns IDK its random. Worn bushings? I'm going to check wheel bearings by putting the car up and yanking the tire/wheel to try to rule that out. Something needs to be replaced but I'm not sure what. Any suggestions? Any links to others with a similar problem? Thanks

cool, thanks for the reply. Good thing I didnt sell my other axles yet. Hopefully the auto and manual are the same, havent looked much into it. Whats the worst that will happen if I continue to use the car with bad CV joints?

depends on what kind of differential you have for some things, but the axle could seize then throw bearings all over hell and possibly punch a hole in something important in the under carriage. I am guessing a small chance the axles are the same for manual to auto, but it could happen.
just replace the axle its not hard and rather inexpensive in respect to other parts

CV joints usually get really bad before they fail. It will be clicking constantly and loudly around every turn.
Check your local parts store, they usually have remanufactured axles available for most popular cars.

What did you find out?
Loren's right about the clicking as they get really bad.
I was wondering if they might go out of balance and
start vibrating before they start clicking.
I have also noticed that some fwd axles have a rubber
donut 1/2 way down the axle which I presume
smooths out vibrations.
Any thoughts on that?-Bob
