You said your CVv boots were bad?If they are you probbly have bad CV joints along with bad hubs.I had this happen and it cost $600 for one side (parts and labor)caused by no oil in the hub.If you get the oil changed in the hubs and it helpss get the boots fix ASAP .These things arent cheap and can be prevented with good maintanance.I learned that the hard way.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Well the fluid in both hubs were at the right level. I went ahead and drained and changed it since it was black and dirty looking. It seemed to fix the problem of the darting but I only had a chance to ride it for a minute since I live in a neighborhood. I got new CV boots on the way so hopefully I can salvage the joints.
