    Default CV Joints?

    I'm developing a speed related thump, thump, thump when pulling away from making a right hand turn. It comes from the right rear of the car and it goes away by 20 mph. Am I correct in assuming CV joint(s)? I haven't had a chance to crawl under the car to take a peak at the boots yet (sub freezing temps drain the motivation to lay on the garage floor).

    If I need to replace them, is it better (less hassle) the just buy a new halfshaft? Does BMA carry them or is their another preferred supplier?

    Thanks,
    Mike
