   You still have not described the symptom of a bad CV joint, and once again   
   described an out of balance tire.   
      
   The CV Joint will make a clicking noise during a full-lock turn, and as the   
   symptoms get worse, the clicking will come when you back out of the driveway   
   and into the street, then turn the wheel and drive off.   
      
   I'm not going to tell you that there is no way for a CV joint to cause a   
   vibration, but I've never felt a vibration from a bad CV joint, and I do not   
   recall people with known bad CV joints describing a vibration as part of the   
   problem they wanted to fix. You could have a bad CV Joint, but I'd expect   
   noise at parking lot speeds before vibrations are set up.
