Exclamation 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 z71 bouncing

I have 99 Chevy silverado z71. On my truck it has 4 inch rancho shocks with 3 inch torsion keys. The keys are cranked about two inches high. It has a "Carolina Squat." Anyway, My right cv axle, the outerboot cracked and grease went all over my fender, rotor, shock etc.. So I went to my local Napa and purchased a RMFD right cv axle with a stronger outerboot. I installed it and now my truck bounces at no matter what speed Im at. I quickly parked it and need help with why its bouncing. The axle is almost at a 45 degree angle. I need it on the road monday! Please Help!

Hey cguest4012,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

I believe Desp is right. The axle doesn't

match your system, somehow.

You may need to replace both front axles,

but it sounds like you need to go back to

OEM parts which match your other axle.
