It would be a reason why your car is pulling to the left. As far as shaking, I do not know. Balance your wheels?

I don't know, news ones are $100 each at the parts store. When ever I tear a boot I just replace the whole thing its faster and I know the joint is good.

autozone has axles for around 50.00. they have a core charge, but just bring back your old axle and you are set. lifetime warranty

You probely have a bad tire, any time you have a vibration with a pull, its normally caused by a tire, and most of the time you can just look at the tire ans see the spott that messed up.

How can a torn boot cause a vibration?

an (extremely) blown shock will cause your car to shake uncontrollably.

hey, mines doin the same thing, under acceleration nothing, pulls good and solid, but when i let off it shakes the wheel and pulls left, had the axle rebuilt and still does it. it also doesnt do it all the time, like if its doin it and i turn hard left or right, it will go away.

It could be alignment or a bad shock. But it could also be other things like a bad/loose wheel bearing or even a warped brake disk.
