Hello, 2006 Toyota Corolla mechanic Changed Right side CV Axel, car drives fine, but it pulls to the left, and it wasn’t doing that before. What could it be? And I’m 100% sure because I notice the difference it like it wants to pull to the left when I’m going straight, and it never has done that before even with the broken axel.

Needs an alignment.

Yep, you need an alignment.

Also replace CV axles in pairs. If one is gone, the other isn’t far behind. Then get an alignment.

When you took the spindle apart to change the axle the camber is out a lot of people take the two bolts out of the spindle to get the axle out guaranteed it ain’t in the same position when you took it apart if I was to guess that’s the only thing that I can see that would make it pull.

Whenever you do anything related to the suspension, it needs to be aligned.

Yes possible may new mechanic or helper ended up opening the tie rod end to get to the axle. So there fore you might need alignment. Let the alignment know what you got the repair done.

He disconnected from the strut and knuckles to change the axle…typically disconnecting from the lower ball joint is best, avoiding alignment.

Swap the front tires side to side, might just a radial tire pull.

Before getting an alignment, check the air pressure in the front tires. Make sure they are at the PSI they are supposed to be, and both tires are the same PSI.

Any mechanical advice. I have this 5A engine Corolla that stalls when braking and sometimes when idling. What could be the problem? I’ve changed the computer box, timing and throttle body but still stalls. Any tip or advice. I’ve tried different mechanics.
