Check front CV axle, look at outer boot for rips/tears.

The CV joint is new so is the rod ends and the wheel bearings. Can this be a transmission problem by chance and if it is what in the transmission would cause this problem?

When you look under car, is there a drain plug for trans and differential?
Replied on April 18, 2010
yes there was and there was no evidence of leaks from them. what next?

The rear plug is the differential, fluid leaks from the axle seals.
The fill plug is on firewall side and hard to get to. Remove plug on level surface and stick finger in, you should feel lube, if not fill to bottom of fill plug.
