Definitely sounds like cv joints. You could just use your current ones as a core trade in on some new ones, I hate rebuilding those things lol

Just switch the CV joint cups from side to side. Put the right one on left, and vice-versa. Keep the spacers in place as well.

Of course if you've done this already then...yeah.

You can run the cups 4 different ways. Original, original with spacers, swap cups side to side with no spacers and then run the spacers again.

Ride height fluctuation would make a difference also.

My half shafts are the only thing left original drive train wise on my car with almost 200k on them.

hmmmmmmm I did swap them a year or so back, was good until a few weeks ago, then I added spacers and helped a little but still vibrating, should I try and swap them back to original and use the spacers and see if that helps?

I guess its worth a try rather then buy new cups

Yeah I would, it couldn't hurt to try your last option. Your cups and prop ends might be extra hashed from all that trq
