Went to go get a wheel alignment the other day, because my steering wheel was pratically diagonal left when i am driving straight.. The bloke doing the wheel alignment told me that my right drive shaft was stuffed, and the wheel alignment failed.

someone with knowledge please let me no to fix the issue of my steering, and would i need to change the boots of the driveshaft, or change the whole part.

probably cv boot torn, tie rod got really greasy and your guy cbf doing wheel alignment.
dont think driveshaft got anything to do with wheel alignment at all.

lolll, the issue was before the wheel alignment, i thought the ek needed a wheel alignment since the steering wheel was terrible! but when i went their the bloke reckons that my right driveshaft was f******!

what would i be looking at for a mechanic to take the driveshaft out to check if the boots need replacing, dont no alot about driveshafts! sorry guys!
