I swapped in a new passenger side one-ton axle/cv from Applied. On the test drive it was hard "torque steer left" - like the passenger side is producing little to no torque.
With the caliper and shock absorber removed I certainly had to wrestle the old one out and the new one in. Spindle nut torqued to 170.
Any guesses on what I did wrong? Is is possible the new axle assembly was not right? The outer cv seemed a bit stiff to me before installation, but what do I know.
