Default Problem with after Axle change

Things have been done:
=================

1)
Changed front-right axle and bearing

2)
Replaced all 4 brake Pads.


Problems experienced immediately after:
=============================

What we found thereafter was that the car started to shake badly once it shifted into a gear. It happens at traffic light as well. Once car starts moving in a motion, it goes smoothly, no problem. I sent car back to the car shop, and he ended up adjusted timing belt. But the problem still exists, did not get any better. I now even face a metal rattling sound on a bumpy road.

What could this be? I don't want take it back to the original shop as he was clueless.

Thanks, mark.

i don't know how much your car is shaking, but my car vibrates and makes a rattling at low rpms and all it is on my car is a loose heat shield that is coming in contact with my exhaust.

There is no adjustment to the timing belt.... The guy's a crook.

Take it somewhere reputable and have them diagnose.

Sure, you can tenision the timing belt with the tensioner;however, that would have nothing to do with the car shaking.
