The most common problem is the inner CV joint,,, the tulip gets a ware pattern and it causes the shaft to git outta line are wobble,,, its more noticeable on acceleration. New does not mean its good,,, BTDT. Next comes engine/trans mount issues. Bent rims are real common on most any vechile built today. I have only seen but a rare few FWD Chrysler's that had differential problems,,, if so the left axle shaft will b loose and leak'n fluid from the left output side seal. Normally when I have seen a seal on the left side that leaked and the axle seamed to B Ok I find the lower control arm bush'n worn out. its not as uncommon as one would think,,, I have got to were I remove the lower arm on a Chrysler for inspection when do'n a CV axle service,,, If you fell any type of wondering are pull on initial acceleration I bet the lower arms are worn out. Lower control arm ware is easily missed but EZ to find once its removed,,, and they are EZ to remove.
Throw in one more thang,,, when replacing the CV shafts one needs to confirm engine/trans alignment,,, now how do you do this,,, this is gonna cost a mechanic some valuable time and take the meat and gravy away from the kill :lol:
Once the job is complete you lower the car and back it out of the shop and then pull back in (if you have a set of turn tables then this is not needed) take both outer CV joint nuts loose and push in on the shaft,,, both should have equal end movement,,, if not then one will bind and cause a out of balance feel,,, most can B adjusted by losing the front engine/trans mount and either rock'n the engine forward are backerds,,, by front I mean the mount tween the radiator and engine/trans
Once this is confirmed and runs out good on the road test its ready for the alignment shop

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
