checing for bad cv's?

how would one go about doing it? with out removing them from the car? I have a shake coming frm the front end and I am concerned that it may be cv's. tires have been tested 4 times now and there fine but I still have this shake. I did have some work done to the tranny and it was removed so could somethign maybe be loose?

mods: its lowered - but this has never caused an issue
it jsut started shaking out of nowhere. it sort of pulsates, if I turn left to right quickly doing 90 I can feel it shaking a little more. almost like a rear hub with worn bearing would shake, but I cant see rear hubs being worn yet.

car has 100000km's on it

thans for the help.

I hear the rotors are kinda blah on these cars, the pulsating can be the rotors being warped.

well i had something similar when my brake piston wasnt releasing properly so it kinda held to the rotor. Anyway if the rotor is wobbling it may be hitting the caliper pads. maybe its your car hating you for not taking it out to dinner on vday. when the car is parked and you push down on the corners does it make a bad nosie?, did you get an alignment after you put the new springs on?
