Answer

hi

this sounds as if you have bad inner cv joints...when the inside cv is bad,it is really hard to determin which axle is bad,right or left...you may end up installing both axles to fix this

No problem with your answer.

Replaced the axles a few months ago ... do not know if that included the CV (constant velocity?) joints or not.

Will find out.

Does knowing the axles were replaced (by local GoodYear garage) change your answer.

Answer

if they replaced complete axles...then yes this would change my thoughts..did it do this before you installed the new axles?
