If you're out of ideas, here's an outlandish one:
It is possible that tracking can cause these symptoms. What happens is, people adjust the tracking and don't bother (or maybe don't realise the need?) to centre the steering rack, and straighten the steering wheel instead. After several of these it's possible it'll be attempting to turn one direction or the other too far, at too sharp an angle. CV joints do have a limit.
Just an idea.
I think it's worth consideration in this case because if you've changed one of the CV joints already, there's almost certainly going to be adjustment to the tracking required afterwards. So you might as well ensure both sides are equidistant and put it to rest.
Of course, doing this at home isn't easy. And how would you know if the garage you employ to "do the tracking" isn't one of those like I described above? The car has to be flat, has to have all it's weight on it's wheels, and high enough to wriggle under it. Not an easy list to satisfy on the drive, I'll admit.
