I was told it is a CV joint but I don't know. The front end has been jacked up and no wiggle. Twice Now it has made a pop sound. So again it is the passenger front wheel. It shakes when you push down on the gas pedal but it levels out and stops shaking when you take your foot off of the gas pedal. Help

Those are all symptoms of a bad cv axle. I found the best way to know is to go buy a new axle. Pull yours out. Compare the two. If yours is binding up more than the new one. Then put in the new one. If all is well just return the axle.

Sometimes ill rotate tires as a spot check. Even run it up on jack stands. (be very careful obviously....)

If I've got the cheese sometimes I just do both at same time. Maybe look into upgrading to stronger axles. Not sure if this sentra has a jet engine in it and you broke it from pure tire shredding power.

Good luck,
