Ive got a question for you; what condition is your scocks in? Dan and I 
just changed his front struts (Both struts were completely flat, and then 
some) and he has reported that an annoying shimmy he had has now 
dissapeared. We also repacked his inner and outer CV boots on both axles 
but I am more inclined to think that if the CV was bad, or going bad, it 
would have been having its well known clicking and clacking telltale signs 
before now. 
Id take a good look at the front shocks first. HTH!
