no one has mentioned swapping the axles ( have to keep them on the same
side of course ) so that the CV's drive the other way ...
giving the balls a new area to push against.

If that can be done while keeping the axles on the same side.
  It's confusing.
Might not work with auto trans alxes.
Someone comment.
