Is my axle or transmission damaged?

I had my uncle fix the axle on the front passenger side. Soon as I pulled my parking spot (after a 3-hour drive), I felt my steering wheel get loose. Two days later I couldn’t even get it out of my parking lot. I heard a rubbing sound (like too much weight is in the car) from that right front wheel so I circled around back to my parking spot then my whole car started shaking so I turned it off in my park and that’s where it is. Idk what’s wrong with it.

Hi,

Is that the axle that was replaced (right side)? If it is, look under the vehicle to inspect the CV axle. Make sure nothing is rubbing or touching. There may be a chance the axle wasn't fully installed into the transmission and the CV boot is rubbing.

Also, when the vehicle was shaking, were you stopped or still moving?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
