When I bought my '85 Weekender automatic I had pretty much the same symptoms, except mine "clunked" when turning. It was, of course, the CV joints which were caked with dry, gritty, grease. I know you said you replaced the CV joints, but then again there was the discussion here again recently about brand quality. Did any of the things you've tried make it stop, even for a little while?
