Default Changed axle, then got an alignment. Now car pulls hard right.

I have an EG with an omni coilover suspension on it & totally stock engine. Before i replaced the axle the car drove perfectly straight.

About a week ago i replaced the right axle because the cv boot was torn. I replaced it with one from autozone. I only replaced the right side, as the left side is fine.

I followed the helms manual step by step through the process & torqued every bolt down to factory spec.

After finishing i go for a drive to make sure all is well. The axle worked out great. But i do notice that the car now pulls right. I figure it was because of replacing the axle.

So i go get an alignment. The guy zero's the toe out. I leave & it still pulls to the right exactly the same as before.

When i throw the car in neutral it will coast perfectly straight. However, when i'm giving it and i give it gas, it pulls right. The more i get on the gas, the harder it pulls right.

I rechecked every bolt, bushing, & ball joint & all is well. Also checked the tire pressures.

Could using a new axle on one side & an old one on the other side cause this? Or what else could it be? Thanks
