2000 se pulling to right



Just changed right axle, (inner and outer cv) and now car is pulling to right. Prior to cv change car was on a 500 mile trip with no pulling, only cv noise when turning. Checked alignment at another shop...all within specs. Brought back to orig shop and they say that they didn't do anything that would affect align and cause to pull. Having to keep pressure on steering to left to keep from drifting right. Is worse when accelerating.

What's up? What do I do now. Anyone out there with similar experience?

Help!!! and thanks.

when you take your hands off the wheel on as flat of a road as you can, does the wheel turn to the right then drifts? or you hold the wheel straight and the car drifts then? if you are having to keep it turned left for the car to drive straight and the alignment is in spec then the steering wheel must not have been tight on the alignment rack. the alignment shop should be able to pick up on that.
i am sure you know there is a natural crown on most roads even though they appear flat. have you checked the air pressure on the right side to make sure that one or both tires are not lower than the driver side?
