Default Pulsates and Pulls to the left when I am accelerating

Pulsates and Pulls to the left when I am accelerating. It is especially bad in first and second gear.

I had a lower ball joint go out on me a week ago on the Driver's Side. When this happend, I had to have my lower ball joint replaced and the cv axle (as it was ripped apart due to the force).

When reinstalling my suspension components, it noticed that my inner tie rod seems to be possibly a bit warped. I do have a new axle on this side as well.

Since putting everything back together, I have notice that it pulsates and pulls to the left when I hit the gas, however, with my foot off of the gas, it does not pull to either direction at all.

Sounds like the pulse could be a axle and the pull could be you needing a alignment after replacing the tie rod. Hard to tell but it's obvious it started with one of the things you changed recently.

The car pulls when accelerating and not when coasting, could this still be an alignment issue? I will be getting a new axle today to see if this gets rid of the pulsating feeling.

I replaced the axle and it feels the same, however, I did adjust my alignment and it now drives straight when coasting and when accelerating so the car no longer pulls to either direction this is fine now.

The pulsating feeling is still there now. I feel that my mid-shaft or mid-axle needs to be changed. I will try swapping this in about a week.
