Ben,

I went home last night and torqued all the bolts on my CV joints. They were
good. I also reved the engine while parked just to make sure it the
hum wasn't belts, pulleys, etc. I still think it's the CV joints.  I'm
fairly confident that I only had clean grease on the CV connection point and
I really don't want to pull them off just to clean them and do all that
work. Thanks for eveyone's help. I think I'm just going to return it and try
to get a different brand. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks,
Blake
