CV Axle replacement then wheel alignment messed up??
I just got my CV axle replaced on both sides. It cost about 411 dollars. Upon picking up the car, I noticed the wheel pull to the left slightly all the time.
So my question is, can axle replacement change the wheel alignment? Anyone know what is going on?
I forgot to get a feel of the alignment before handing the car to the shop.
It could be just me paying more attension to the car upon a repair.
Any clue?

as long as you don't disconnect your tierod or anything, and you snug everything back how it was, there should be no reason that anything should come out of alignment. I've doen this numerous times without fail.
the car probly needed an alignment prior & you just didn't notice it before.
