my monte was purchased with a bent strut/damaged strut tower. I replaced the strut and straightened the top of the tower. When I drove it down the road it handled much better less wobble and curve. I know I will need an alignment and possibly have to have the shop tweak the tower some more but heres the big question when I accelerate the wobble/shake gets much worse a friend told me possibly bent cv axle or something like that. What are your thoughts?

 

Were the tie rods replaced also. When I replaced my struts I went ahead and did both tie rods and when I drove it to the shop it was nearly undriveable. Once alignment was done everything was OK. If nothing looks bad maybe it just needs an alignment.

 

My tierods do need to be replaced and an alignment is needed. any idea if my friend axle assumption may b correct?

 

I'd start with an alignment first than if that don't help look into the axel

 

I would start with tie rods and an alignment,

 

alignment shop confirmed the bent drive axle also said a wheelbearings bad but tierods are good.

 

Now that you know what is wrong are you gonna replace them both yourself.
