A couple of months ago I started hearing this noise from the front drivers side of my Ex. I had the CV replaced and flash forward to yesterday, the noise came back!

So I took a video and I hope that one of you has had this problem and can help me pinpoint what to replace this time. I'm thinking U-Joints as there is a slight wobble sometimes thoroughout the whole car.
Thanks in advance, Ben.

Have you checked the drive shaft(s)?
 






There is a little bit of play when twisting the shaft by hand, I wasn't sure how much play is normal (if any).
 






Front driveshaft! They do make a repair kit thru rockauto.com if you are handy.
 






So I would need to replace/ repair the whole driveshaft?
 






Yes, unless you want to do repair kit. I have replaced at least 150 front driveshafts over the years. Never personally did the repair kit.
