I don't know why lifting it would have done much. If the cv shaft is spinning but not the wheel it most likely will be a hub problem. Do you still have the stock auto hubs on? They're known for giving up after a while.

it will be the auto hubs causing your problem, the std hubs will put up with a lot of shit but they do need looking after,cleaning new grease etc,ive got some auto hubs here you can have for the postage other wise get some manual hubs off a jl scudo or a 413,

did this with std hubs backing up a pumice bank.

probaly a bit late for one of your cvs but worth doing so you find which one is broken and you can have a look to see how they work while you are there, if you want another std one give me a pm,
