don't discount the wheel bearings. Go ahead and put a socket and long ass
cheater bar on there and stand on that bad boy. I honestly don't think
you can over torque the nut on those things. The tighter the better. Most
racers (Real racers, as in real VW race cars) torque them as tight as
they can get em. I stand on mine. Have done so for the last 5 years with
no problems. (Same wheel bearings un front.) 
Ew, winter with open CV boots. Hmm, probably not a good thing. Sounds
more like it being your CV's. 
Take the nut off, pop the CV from the hub and feel how much play it has?
Rotate it around its axis. Can you feel a catch or anything not smooth?

Oh yeah, that's something im SURLY missing out on. lemme see, ice needs
32F or less to be ICE. Um, no thanks! Id rather autox in 70F weather in
Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar. If at all it might rain once in a great while. (our
own version of ice racing!)
