    i just replaced both my front axles. now when accelerating theres a little jiggle in my steering wheel and i can feel it in my pedals and my seat. its only in first and second gear and only for a sec. could i have taken it out of line when i replaced my axles or did i do something wrong?... thanks m

    Pretty sure changing your front axles would require you to loosen or take off parts related to your alignment, so yes that would probably be a good idea. Although I would suspect you'd feel that more at high speeds so I would expect something is loose.

    im not sure what could be loose???? pretty sure i tightened everything to the specified torque. ball joints were a pain in the ass. you think there might be something up with them?

    It sounds like you got a bad axle. If it was the alignment it would do it all of the time not under acceleration.:wtc:

    depends on how you pull the axles. you can pull them without affecting your alignment
