Default CV Joint question

Yesterday I changed my CV Joints, Brake Pad & plugs. It all works fine except when I am on the gas it shakes a little bit, not alot. Its the worst at like 60 when im in 2nd. It does not shake at all when Im not in gear & on the gas, so that rules out the tires n ****. Basicly I think I missed something when I changed the cv joints, does anyone know what could be causing this?

Check your alignment... maybe it's your Tie rods.

That's a good indication of a worn inner c/v joint.

never fix/replace a cv joint
always replace the axle
it saves headaches (like this one) and there only 60$

Unless you know what you are doing.
