Freestar Transaxles

So I put new Firestones and cv shafts on my freestar recently... Ever since I noticed a speed sensitive vibration almost like a tire is out of balance which may very well be the case... I was wondering what the chances are the the new cv shafts are out of balance or welded off center; they are brand new (not reman) cardone shafts. I replaced both sides due to one being shot and the other having to be repeatedly replaced as it was a pos cardone reman; needless to say I am skeptical about this manufacturer.

Anyway, just looking to rule out the possibilities.

Is the vibration definitely coming from the front of the car? Having the tire installer look at the tires again is a less invasive measure and may fix your problem.
