I was wondering if anyone has a fix for this as it seems to develop a lot of vibration through the front end. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was doing the same thing on the track as well. This may also be accelerating the destruction of front drive shaft components. What I was wondering was has anyone tried any of the new track rod sets as I believe the problem maybe developing from excessive Ackerman effect creating a large slip angle on the inside wheel, making the CVD transmit through a larger angle and causing the vibration.
Other peoples thoughts, experiences?????

I noticed this too when I first got the car. But once the car was on the ground, the chatter and vibration were gone.
