Sounds more like a bad wheel bearing. Jack one front wheel up at at time,
set the brake, run it up to about 40mph or so in third, kick it in neutral
and
shut off the engine and listen. Do this for both and one should be
noticeably
noisier than the other. Sometimes CV's will do something similar with
the vibration thing but it's not always the outer. Those do tend to clack
more than anything, unless it's really dry maybe.
Get a good, four wheel alignment. I had similar problems, wind would
push the car all over, pushed really bad in the corners. Got a GOOD
alignment and it was MUCH better. One rear wheel was way out as
well. You can mess with tire pressures a bit too I think it's lower rear
than front to move from understeer to oversteer but I'm not positive
there.
