Are the columns correlated? Have you tried to create extended statistics and see if the estimate changes? I believe that extended stats will not directly help with joins though, only group bys and perhaps choosing an index scan vs table scan when comparing the correlated columns to static values rather than joining up tables. Wouldn't be much effort to try it though.
