Front Right End Shakes Bad

since i had my buddy replace my clutch in my car, i've had nothing but drivetrain issues. now whenever i let off the gas and the car is in gear, the front right end shakes bad and pulls. looked underneath it, everything appears to be tight. the axle boot has a slight tear in it but doesnt seem like it would make the car act like this. if i put the car in neutral and coast it rides smooth but if i put it in gear and let off the gas, my front right end shakes like crazy! any ideas as to what it could be?

Could be axles, could be control arms, could need new bushings.

Could be the guy didnt properly replace passeneger side axle.

Gnomes in the axle making it unbalanced.

i'm thinking axle since it only does it when there isnt a load on it

Well since the boot has a tear in it, is there any grease left inside?
