CV Boot replacement affecting alignment?? 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Bart on  Sat Apr 28 09:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I Just had my passenger side cv boots replaced and now the car pulls to the right badly. I can actually see the right front wheel looking almost toed-out when the steering wheel is centered. Left front looks fine. Had driver side boots done a few months ago and had no change in steering afterward, but this time the change was immediate, as the car tracked perfectly before the passenger side boots replacement. I am taking the car back to the shop first of the week to have them fix whatever they seem to have disturbed, but I just can't imagine how the boot job would cause that, but there are not really any other possiblities I can think of. (Didn't hit any holes, curbs, etc., and the brake caliper isn't frozen. I didn't think that the tie rod ends were disturbed during halfshaft removal but maybe I am wrong? Just looking for some ideas or suggestions to keep in mind when I get it back over to the shop that did the boots. Thanks in advance.
