The first time it's broke since the hub snapped after the conversion about a year ago Can't really moan!

The car is playing up sometimes when driving along normally. It's giving me vibration and steering wheel shakes almost constantly now. Before hand it wasn't too bad. Used to vibrate and shake between 70-120mph, other than that it was fine. Noticed it was particularly bad when I left the motorway the other day, as it shakes a lot slowing down too.

I'm starting to think it's a CV joint that is messing up, as at 40mph in 4th with my foot resting on the throttle I can see the steering wheel and gearknob shaking quite violently.

I had it up in the air last month and couldn't see anything that had play in it. One of the CV's does click when pulling away. It passed an MoT last month with the problem there, was hoping they'd say it was a bush or something that was causing it.

I'm feeling an order for 4x CV joints and some polybushes. Hopefully will sort it out, but has anyone had or heard of this type of prob before?

It's been tracked about a hundred times.

Assuming the tracking/wheel balance/brakes/pressure is all ok. What other things would cause these problems?
