I recently changed the CV axle on my car and it worked fine for about a week. Just yesterday I bought a new tire and now my car is vibrating and feels like the CV joint is grinding or is loose and wobbling around. It doesn't do this when the engine is cold though then the more you drive the worse is it gets.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you purchased only one tire, make sure it is the same size as the others. Often times, it is recommended that on an AWD vehicle that all tires are replaced at the same time. If there is a difference in the outside diameter of the tire, it will cause problems and damage to the AWD system.

Let me know.
