2004 kia magentis 2.7 ltr 150000 km.currently i have a ripped cv axle boot. my steering wheel is pulling right towards the side of the cv axle boot rip i had brake trouble and shuddering for about 1 and a half years total before this.I first repaired the right side which i repaired by replacing the disc and brakes. caliper was okay so it remained. during repairs i cutoff wheeled the set screw which was heavily rusted into the disc. i bumped the studs on the hub a few times. this may have effected their position. the wheel is also a different size from the other three wheels on the car but finding a replacement for less than 400 $ is not possible. although the tire size is the same. my right cv axle has been clacking for a year or so but i thought it was brake related. anyhow i ordered a new right-hand side cv axle and will be replacing it. should i replace the bearing as well? should i be worried about the intermediate shaft? my steering is pretty much always pulling to the right when i get up to highway speed but it doesnt always pull right, but when it starts it feels more consistent. i hope to resolve this issue by replacing the cv axle alone. i should also mention that finding a complete front right hub is pretty much impossible but maybe i could redo the studs somehow? theyre not very misaligned just slightly off maybe only 1-3 degrees.

Is this some kind of joke?
You KNOW you have a bad axle. You know you have the wrong wheel. Studs are misaligned?
Fix the known problems and then see if you have a problem.
