I screwed up replacing struts on my '16 Sportwagen and trashed my driver's side axle and put some wear on the passenger axle. Driver's was replaced; passenger's was not as the initial problem was fixed, but I've now got vibration, especially between 20-40ish under acceleration. I'm going to swap the passenger axle this weekend - anyone have any tips? I'm hoping to not have to go get aligned again.
Hard to replace the axle without unfastening the ball joint, or the steering knuckle from the strut, or both. Doing any of this should probably warrant a re-alignment to be certain. The way that would cause the least impact to overall alignment would be to separate the strut from the knuckle if possible. Depending on where you got the alignment done, may determine if they do a re-alignment with-in a certain time frame or not. May want to talk with service manager and explain your situation and see if they'll do a re-align gratis. Bet if they're interested in good customer service, they will
