a gift from the maxima gods

oh here is what happened. I got my new drivers side CV axle this morning. I decided that everyone else was installing these themselves, so could I. Well everything went well. It was a bit more to dissasemble than I thought, but not hard at all. Total process took right around an hour. See until now I have had a vibration in the braking, just like when you have warped rotors. It has been bad enough to where I have been slowing down by downshifting as much as possible. Well I took my car out for a test drive. I was just in awe since I could turn my car without it sounding like I was climbing a hill on a roller coaster. Well then my freind asked me how the brakes felt, since I was a little woried about screwing something up since I am a little auto ignorant. So I braked a little, and the pedal felt better and there was no vibration! So then I did a hard brake from 80 to 6 with my hands off the wheel. To my suprise, there was no vibration at all and the car braked perfectly straight insteed of the slight driver side pull I had gotten before. Could the new axle have this effect? could the vibration I felt have been the badly worn CV axle?

Sure...I think my drivers side is all fu**ed up, brand new bad rebuild, and my new one is also in the mail...I get the same vibration too when I break and it was never there until I did the new tranny with the new axel..I think Im onto something here
