CV Boot /axle answers please :(

Sorry guys, kinda new here yet, so forgive me in advance, im sure somewhere in this forum this question has been asked..sorry search didn't help...i dont know how to navigate this forum yet..but here goes....

This past wednesday I went and replaced all four of my tires and got an alignment done...everything went gravy to my knowledge until I was told that my axle was torn, in which i think they meant my CV boot....they told me it wasn't that bad yet and if i wanted to replace it i could but as he stated "its not making noises" yet...

the next day as i was driving to work, my car started to act funny, first i heard squeaking in the tires as I was making a right turn and as I hit the free way driving at 60 mph the car started to shake ..........the steering wheel shook horribly and even as i slowed down it shook continuously for a good 30 seconds...I didnt think too much of it although i should have

two days later driving the same speed it happened again...only this time i heard a whoosing sound of some sort coming from my left driver side front wheels...sorry not car suave here so is it my cv boot or my axle?

please help!!!

theres no leak anywhere...could it be loose lug nuts?

so best thing to do is call the tire center i went to wednesday and have them look at it...?

ay!!!!! thanks scott! i checked them last night and them seemed fine but i think im gonna have to call up the tire center and address the issue asap before its too late...haha in this case its prob better to get it looked at early, im going out of town this friday and i def dont want to deal with car issues on the road

ok so if im asking them to check for any of those listed above would they charge me again for fee??? im assuming they shouldn't right?

To be completely honest, the car made no such noise or experienced any shakes and vibrations until after leaving the shop, even with worn tires the car sounded and acted fine, plus i just got my both my wheel bearings replaced two months ago...........

yea im thinking about calling them tomorrow morning and bringing the car in.....ughhh fml.........haha so no get turbo then? maybe u can get it all at once? prob pricey as heck huh?

lol i was actually gonna say that, buy now and save up to get it all together...but true no need to be in debt for turbo..so im assuming ur not gonna turbo kit at all then?

An axle shaft would have to be extremely bent to cause those kind of issues, plus it would not be intermittent. An out-of-balance wheel would also have full-time symptoms. It sounds like something is loose. If I had to guess, I would say either the bearing repack failed, or the technician forgot to tighten something when adjusting your alignment. Drive as little as possible until you get this fixed!!

I would recommend taking it to another shop that performs alignments, then describing the problem to them. Let them know about the previous alignment and the bearing repack. Find out if the problem they find could be due to negligent work from the other shop.

A lot of major tire stores do not use certified mechanics for alignments. Kids out of high school with a two week training course should not be trusted with your alignment. My alignment guy performs an average of one-a-week reworks, just from one tire center!

yeah true but interest rates are a b!tch...u might not wanna do that hahaha but seems like the turbo kit is a steal

Thanks for the advice connman...im gonna have someone take a look at it tomorrow, its a scary ride...and i havent been driving the car ....kinda meehhhh about driving it period! anywho, it doesnt happen consistently ...its happened twice for about 20-30 seconds within two days of driving the car.....i just really hope its nothing too bad....the shake from the steering wheel is REALLY bad!
