You visually inspected and could actually see that both axles were bent?

I'd like to see pictures.

They were wobbling and inferring they're bent. The driver side wobbles more so than the passenger side. When you look at when it spins it doesn't stay still spinning but wobbles.

Similar to youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzI-V...eature=related

If you put a dial indicator against the axle shaft you would definitely notice runout.

did you look at your tires themselves and make sure you dont have a separated belt?

Tires looked good and inspected them today. Note, they are Michelin Harmony tires. I felt the same with my Michelin X-Ice tires.

Looks like the inner CV joint it toast.

Try and find a good used OEM one. I got a pair from Canadian tire for my old honda and they're both wobbly like that too. I even returned them for a new set and the same thing. The steering shakes like crazy at any speed over 105km/h.
