I replaced my front end both CV axle joints (complete set) with new ones. The right hand side axle of the new one was almost half or an inch shorter in length of the original one that was previously installed.

after replacing it the car is smooth, body do not shake. But i am facing a weird issue here that after all this i got an electronic all four wheel alignment too but when I am on heavy acceleration even on dead smooth road I can feel that my car steering wheel is little shaking left and right... and If I pass into some path hole on the road.. my steeing wheel wants to pull to the right hand side. Even when I drive my car on heavy acceleration my car runs in straight line but steering wheel constantly feel like a little shaky and sloppy.

I had my front suspension repaired too.. got new tyres... swapped tyres and rims.. but nothing helped.


Are these all symptoms of incorrect length of the right cv axle installed in my car ??? It's really annoying to drive a car like this. PLEASE HELP and guide

Yes, the axle can definitely give you symptoms like that. The inner joint is binding when the engine moves under torque.
