Do you have an LSD transmission? If your alignment is off, and you do, it can cause this. Otherwise, do you have the right size? They fit correctly? Etc...

a bad alignment won't cause a shake. If Camber/Caster is off it'll pull to one side, If toe is off you'll get uneven tire wear but no pull. None of which will cause a vibration or shaking.

Make sure the axle is seated correctly.

Are you 100% sure that you installed the half-shafts on the correct side?

If you were to install them incorrectly, this could be your problem.

Run through the process in your head again.

Make sure that bot half-shafts were installed in the transmission correctly. Did you make sure that all necessary hardware has been installed and torqued. Did you install cotter keys? Did you torque the axle nut?

Good luck.
