What have you replaced? CV? Have you had the stabilizer arm checked? What about the bearings? Tie rod ends? Does it pull to either direction while going down the road? Could be something with the brakes too, like a caliper. Sounds like a CV though, if you haven't had that replaced already.

Let me ask around a little, other than those things, I have no idea. When you say axles, do you mean the CV joints?

[tyberious]

I have a friend thats a mechanic, and another friend that does alot of car work on the side and knows a lot, so I'll ask around. I'm at work right now, and I get out at 11, so I won't be able to reply till tomorrow at around 3:30, but I'll see what I can come up with.
