You don't replace parts contained within a cv joint, they are sold as a complete unit.

Wear in some, or all of the multiple rear suspension linkages / bushes could be the cause?
I'd be checking those first then ... |

Just a quick question from someone who's not actually seen the correct suspension nuts yet.
