my pass axle pulled my car , but it was not properly greased because the boot was missing, causing more friction in the joint . perhaps it needs to be worn in a bit and loosened up .

Default Why a car pulls to one side

The car might be pulling to one side because of a misalignment.

A lot of times a person doesn't need an alignment unless the ball
joints go bad or get replaced............or if something else has moved.

When I do ball joint tests, I actually pop them loose, and show the person the difference between a good joint and a bad joint. Some places do the shake 'em and sell 'em test, which I believe to be inadequate.

When I replace balljoints, I also can check the alignment using the portable alignment set like they use in the garages at the Indy 500.

If you want a quick check of the alignment, get back with me.-Bob

This may sound like a dumb question.......When you replaced the axle,
how much transmission oil did you have to add to bring it up to full?

Well I tried to fill it up but it really didn't take anymore oil. That doesn't shock me any either since it didn't seem to loose any oil when the old one was uninstalled.
