2003 expedition vibration.
I have an 03 expedition 4x4 with 134,000 miles. I'm getting a bad vibration in the front end, that increases with speed. It however goes away when I turn to the left, thereby compressing the right suspension. I am suspecting right cv shaft failure, mainly due to the fact that it has never been replaced, while theu left sidea was doneI a month ago, but what troubles me is that its not the traditional clunk-clunk sound you normally hear when cv shafts go. Any ideas/common problems??

Could be a wheel hub, but I would have expected the shop who did the cv to also find the bad hub. Jack up the front end, grab the top and bottom of the tire, and see if it has any play. Do this to both sides.
Or take it back to the shop and see what they say about it. Maybe they didn't tighten something.

actually did the work myself. Ended up pulling the steering knuckle apart and replaced the hub, cv shaft, and also found the seals on the 4wd actuator were bad, so i replaced it too. All better now. TY for the advice!!!!
