Axle replaced - now vibration

Hello,

Car: V70 2.5T AWD 2006 (non cross country) Canadian
147 000km

Had an axle causing issues especially when engaging park to rear or drive, could hear a clunk caused by a loose axle joint. Had replaced both front axle joint, no more loose in them of course but...

When I drive straight, no issue. When I take a slight curve, no issue. When stopped and turn right 90 degrees (at a corner) and accelerating a bit when turning, I can now feel a vibration in the whole car... the vibration disapear when the wheel get near straight (after the corner).

I believe that the axle joint used to replace the defect one I had are not good quality and are not able to work smoothly when turning under some effort (or power comming from the tranny when turning). It`s like when the axle joint is put to his limit, it vibrate...

Does this sound possible to you guys ? I've called the mechanic that did the job and he want to test drive the car to feel the vibration. Can this be something else ?

Let me know what you think,

Bruno
