Bad replacement axel?
Been dealing with an issue and finally tracked it down to my front axels both being slightly bent. I had them replaced while the car is driving better, I noticed last night on the way home from work that I was getting a vibration type feeling when accelerating. It also feels like the transmission is slipping?? Coming to a full stop and then going the car almost feels like it doesn’t want to go and then lurches forward. This morning I noticed twice that when taking a turn it also felt like it was slipping.
Playing google mechanic, from what I’ve found this could possibly be caused by one of the replacements not being good or something with the axel not being seated correctly?
Dropping it off tonight but figured I’d ask here to maybe get some ideas.

Re: Bad replacement axle?
and we're back.... HELP!! : (
I had just about a week of what I consider the car feeling "normal" while driving, then other morning driving to work the car is back to feeling exactly the same way it did prior to the work being done. I went around a turn on a side street that has some chewed up pavement and the car feels all jacked up again. These weren't major potholes or anything either. Honestly nothing that I would even worry about.
The mechanic took a look at everything again and there is nothing wrong with the replacement axles. Everything with the suspension is good to go and I've asked them to double check the struts and ball joints just to be sure. They also checked my wheels and tires again to rule them out.
He said they are leaning towards this being an issue with my transmission??
I've described the front passenger side as feeling bumpy/wobbly. The car will also feels like it is pulling left/right at times but if I let go of the wheel it drives perfectly straight. There are also times where the car totally smooths out and feels normal. When this first started I had pulled over the one day thinking I might have a flat tire. I had replaced the tires because the mechanic originally thought it was from flat spots, full alignment twice, tires and rims rotated to rule those out, front axles replaced. I've had the car to the dealership 2-3 times and it has also been looked over by two other shops.
