VW Golf Mk1V TDI - Steering judder - jonjon1

My Golf suffers from steering judder at Motorway speeds above 70 mph. (I live in France so its legal) If I take my foot off the accelerator it goes away but the moment I put my put back on the pwer it starts up again.

I have renewd front pads/disks. New tyres. switched back wheels to front. New shock absorbers but its worse than ever. I know the CV joints will need replacing as they crack on full lock. Could this be the problem?.

If there is sufficient movement to allow them to run out of line - yes it could, when you apply power you are taking the slack up.
