Seems to happen when using reverse more than when moving forward. Wheels are usually straight, sometimes turned, same deal. Dont notice it when moving, just when starting out from a stop. Can't recall if I can feel anything in the steering wheel or clutch pedal... Here's some age data on the components: Tranny with Quiafe and clutch: 43k miles Reman'd Axles: 43k miles for passenger, 28k for drivers-side Wheel bearings: 12k Miles LCA's: 7k Miles 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

My guess too. I Have the same problem and I agree also that it is the loose tolerances in the CV Joint. Spend about 40 more dollars and try out the GCK Axles. I have no experience with them but some of the more heavy hitters on the board swear by them. Demon said they are a much more durable product than the Reman's from AudibleZone and O'really's. Maybe some one with some experience can chime in on this subject... CSVT E0 3L 14.5 @ 94mph, Stock Intake, Stock Exhaust minus Resonator, CEL, And Broken Pass. Side CV...Untuned.
