Have your tires inspected, replaced or balanced, front end checked and aligned.

the tires are barely a year old, and it is aligned. can you tell me how and what to look for with the cv joints, or axel. your answer is an Obvious one and a process of Emlemiton, i am trying to keep repair costs down and do it myself. just wanted know what i should look for when checking for cv / axel / toe in -out. i done front end work plenty but not on vw jettas as im sure it is close to the same thing a other cars but hoping for a more detailed answer.

I gave you all the things that will cause vibration and tire wear. I did not list C/C because it is NOT one of the things that will cause tire wear and there is no way to test it other than removing it or visually inspecting it. The fact that your tires aren't old doesn't mean a thing.
