ALso could be the CV joints as well....but the boots look good?

My S has 70K miles on it (2001)

THanks for any help

Test drive at night while it's much quieter. Find a smooth road with a solid wall next to it so you can drive close to the wall and hear the sounds your car makes bounce off the wall.
