Changed both axles, car now wobbles under accel.

[MTZI30]

Just changed both front axles. Install was a PITA on the passenger side, but it seemed to go fine. I notice now that when I accelerate, the steering wheel has a decent wobble in it. I'm thinking I got a defective axle, but the hard part is what side? Im hoping someone can put it on a lift and be able to tell what side it is. I guess worse comes to worse, I can start with the passenger side since it was pretty easy to change. What does everyone think?

I wouldn't go to the worst conclusions first: that of defective axle - jeesh, hope not!

It's pretty likely you'd need an alignment after half-axle replacement, however. Once you were in there, did you inspect all other important items; balljoints, tie rod ends, bushings, etc.?
