Its not the alinement???? is it over a certain speed only?
Cause even when you get new tires you need them balanced and some times the alinement can be off....especially if you go someplace like american tire co....they are idiots sometimes.

commom things that cause shakes are unbalanced tires, loose tie rods or steering componets. unbalanced tires will cause shakes at ceirtian speeds and will go away at higher or lower speeds (example car is smooth 0-45 mph, 45-60 mph the car shakes, above 60 shake goes away) loose steering componets will cause shakes at a certian speed and above (example 40 mph and above). just wondering, why did you replace both front axles?

i replaced both front axels because that plastic boot behind the hub assembly was broke on both sides so all the grease that was in there was all over the underneath they told me it was easier to just to replace both axels rather than the boots. my blazer didnt start shaking till i had this done just had it to the garage that put the axels on and they checked everything from ball joints to motor mounts to driveshaft they are now thinking that possibly on or both of the axels may not be balanced correctly

To replace the CV's they probaly had to take apart a large portion of the front suspension, an alignment may be in order.
