Thanks for the reply. I'm going to take my SE out for a quick spin around the church parking lot and see if it "pops" on tight turns [... supposed way to test the joint, itself, if I understand some of the other posts correctly].
I've only noticed this slight vibration for about 400 miles ... so I don't think the boot has been leaking for more than 1-2 months of "light" driving conditions.
And I'm too old for hot-rodding around anymore, so I hope it's not the joint ...
