Front end/wheel vibration

[Calypso]

Hey all,
Well, when I'm driving at highway speeds, and I turn just a little to the left, it feels like that right wheel is vibrating. It doesn't do it at slow speeds or when I turn right. I know one of my subframe washers is bad, but what else could it be? I don't think it is that because it has been like that since I bought the car, and I've been driving the car for almost 2 years and 35,000 miles. Could it be a tie rod end or something? Don't think it is a CV joint, cause it doesn't do it at slow speeds... Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Matt

*EDIT* Oh, and my brakes are grinding BAD. I doubt that's it, but could it somehow be related? (yes, they're getting replaced this weekend)

Alright, I think I just answered my own question. I went out and wanted a better look. Drove around a bit and stopped in a parking lot with the wheel turned all the way to the left. I got out and grabbed everything behind the wheel, and the only thing I could wiggle at all was the axle/ CV halfshaft. It it wiggled with very little effort on my part. Then, when I got back home and parked it, I had the wheel turned all the way to the right, and I could not move the axle. So, I'm guessing that's it. And I had a shop replace that shortly after I got the car, so hopefully it's still under warranty.

But, does it make sense that it would be the CV halfshaft/axle?

I'm waiting to hear this too, Matt... Mine does that, but turning the other way...
