P700m4 What's wrong here

[gokorn1]

The passenger front cv joint looks to be at a sharp angle. It was like this before I put the new tires on but didn't pay much attention to it until I put it on the trailer. I've got no popping and its tight. I don't really know enough about cv joints to figure this out. All the other suspension components looks fine.

Probably just psychological since you put the new tires on.

That angle is ok....the boot makes it looks steep

I believe the passenger side axle is shorter than the driver side. That would make it a steeper angle.

Do you have a hole in one is the cv boots? If I were you, I would just replace the whole axle.

I don't see anything wrong. if you draw a line on the photo from the center of the axle ,it goes right to the center of the axle tube, as it should. The front differential is not centered so both sides will not look exactly the same . Because there not. Here's some photo's I have and you can see the difference between passenger and drivers side.

A lot of great information in the above members. The only way I could see that as bound up is if a control arm is bent or way less likely the frame mounts. I guess you could measure across the tire top/bottom and check but it would be pretty obvious. Looks good to me as well.if there is anything funny with a boot you can sometimes get a replacement boot but as Joey said maybe think about replacement they aren't all that expensive on eBay
