Thanks for the recommendations so far from both dogmatic and mannix!

I will try switching my front/rear wheels today. I need to get a larger
ratchet, because I can't break the torque on the rear wheels w/ the 10"
one I have now. Some bastard REALLY cranked down those bolts. I was
putting my entire weight on that sucker. Fronts are just fine.

Also, to add to the situation: The inner cv joints were leaking pretty
good when I bought the car a couple months ago... I had the seals replaced
immediately.
