The old axle had a split in the outer boot.
Since it had to come out I got the new axle to swap in and save the time in the driveway (no RV parking in my neighborhood).
The "old" axle is just a year old I think so a re-boot should give me a good spare axle.
I watched Manny change axles in an hour or less. I took me most of the day.
Brake calipers seemed fine on the short drive back to storage.
Torque steer left is not subtle, and from my limited knowledge that means torque is being mostly transmitted to the left wheel.
I have no clue to the mechanics of a CV, guess I'll have a better idea after the re-boot.
What are the chances that all that wrestling to get the new axle in somehow messed up the CV?
I cannot think of anything else that would get in the way of power to the wheel.
