Brand new CV, shaking when accelerating
Title say it all, replaced my passenger cv (which had a torn boot) this past week and I now have pretty noticeable shaking when I am accelerating. I am not sure what is causing this. It is a brand new axle, what did I do wrong in the installation? Thanks in advance guys.

This happens either from the car being picky, CV being made poorly, or if you have a manual tranny and use an automatic CV.

Is that something I can pull off the old one and put one this one? Also, is it bad to drive the car like this?
