Car pulling after axle replacement

Hi All,

I did a search but couldn't find an answer. I recently replaced my front right axle following the DIY on this forum. Everything went smoothly. Got the car aligned right afterwards. However, the car steering tends to wobble/pull whenever the suspension is activated. On a smooth flat surface, at any speed, the car is straight as an arrow, however if the road is crowned even slightly, the car steering wobbles slightly. At highway speed, the wobble is noticeable, but not pronounced, more an annoyance. At very slow speeds, say approaching a stop light, the pull is very very hard.

Any ideas of what I missed? Does it sound like a bad part or something else?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!!

I am curious. Why did you have to replace your right axle? Was the car making a certain noise? if it was, what kind of noise?

CV Joint boot was bad, so just did a replacement of the entire axle. FYI, this is a 2006 TSX.

It's aftermarket. Thanks for the input, I just wanted to see if anyone else had seen the issue before I went out and got an OEM replacement.
