you would be suprised how bad an axle can shake your car....my pass side went out after raising my car back up....when it was lowered it wore itself into the cup....when it got raised the inside of the cup(tripod) had enough room to bounce around so to speak causing mad vibrations....and i had your same symptoms only at higher speeds will it do so. get under the car and shake your axles to make sure....shouldnt have any up and down play

just go to napa and get a new one. it'll cost you about $60-100 if you do it yourself. its not bad, i did it in my civic in about 2 hrs. and be careful i've heard of peeps with bad c/v's having them blow out at high speeds or under alot of load, so just be careful till yah get her fixed. good luck!
