So I got my CV axle replaced yesterday (driver side) and it seems that it is off balance or whatever. I'm gonna do my best to explain it. But when I drive normally there isn't any problem at all. But once I hit a bump and the front end goes up and drops down I get a crazy shaking feeling on the driver side wheel. I'm talking about like bumps on the freeway not like speed bumps. Also I went to a parking lot and made a longgg sweeping left turn so there would be less weight on the front left side and the same thing, the wheel started shaking like a ****. Idk what it could be but it's really annoying and bothersome. Any help is great

 

well make sure that its not loose and that all your ball joints are good. check your lug nuts. just try and rule stuff out so you can find the exact problem

 

Do you have aftermarket leveling keys?

 

My ball joints have a little play but before i changed it, it never did that. Could the new axle and the old balljoints be the problem? Like the old axle and balljoints worked together fine but when I threw a new axle in it made it all outta wack?

 

No they're stock but cranked a little

 

hmmm, not to sure then

 

Dang alright thanks
I'll just have to go get it looked at tomorrow

 

New CV axles do not like cranked torsion bars because they will start to bind at 1" over stock height in the front.

 

Thats exactly what they told me today
But I like to hear it from someone else too. Should I lower the front or let them break in? They said I could leave it cranked but I'm afraid to do that because it might mess up the front end

 

What ever you do do not leave it cranked until you have put some mileage on the new CV. I wish i had made a pic but i have been running Readylift keys maxed out on my 97 for over 60k miles, and had to replace a cv axle. With in 500 miles of the new CV's installed it didnt realize how much pressure was being put on the front diff and ended up break the right axle housing.
