CV Joint - probably driver's inner (that's the CV joint that goes first - cause it's right over the exhaust.)

I think constant heat affects the grease, which is vital to the cv joint. No?

Does heat affect shock absorbers as well? my Konis, last time I adjusted them to full tight for the track, the driver's side expanded about 1.5x faster than the passenger side. Took the passenger side about half an hour, while the driver's side about 20 min or so.

Yes.

The driver inner CV joint ALWAYS goes first, due to the greater amount of heat in close proximity to it.

Regarding shocks: I think the shocks are far away enough not to have to worry. However, I think the driver's side shocks probably wear quicker because you are guaranteed weight on that side whenever the car is driven.
