Default CV axel problems 2.5 weeks after leveling kit.

So guys i installed my leveling kit about 2.5 weeks ago as many of you know because you have been helping me along the way. But i have been noticing an intermantant shaking of the steering wheel it seems to come and go. I assumed that maybe the news tires wernt quite balance right. So today after getting back from the shop and ordering my 6in suspension lift i stopped by the shop that mounted and balanced my tires to have them check it out. The tires were not balance correctly but unfortantly they found a lil more of a concern appearantly the driver side cv axel needs to be replaced. I guess i wasnt expecting such problems so soon. So is the leveling kit the problem. i would assume it has to be. I did check with the shop i was buying the lift from to be sure that with this lift that the cv's would not be really angled. He stated that the lift comes with hardware that lowers the diff to prevent this. I have a video of what the cv axel is doing but i cant get it to upload on her so you guys can see what its doing and kinda have a better understanding. How do you up load videos?

I don't see a leveling kit causing this - I'd say you had an axle at it's end and the lift might just make it more pronounced.

Two threads on the same subject going on right now. I'm going to just post in the other one (only because I saw that one first) so I'm not typing the same thing twice.
