"if you have another specialist I'd be willing to talk to them!"

Not really - just hate the thought of dragging a vehicle across the ground, it's bound to cause problems.

"the Vx was towed about a month ago ... which was done by a mistake"

BTW, how do you accidentally tow a vehicle?

Have you checked your CV boots? CV troubles usually sound more like clicking & you mentioned whine/vibration (but anything is possible).
