Regen noise change after cv axle replacement?

[SoonerBrink]

I have a 2023 Hybrid XL.

Vehicle shook when accelerating. Both cv axles were replaced and the vibration was elminiated.

I did notice under regen, the regen noise seems a little bit louder.

Anyone else experience this?

Just wondering if it's normal, or perhaps something changed when they replaced both axles?

I only had 1 axle replaced. Barely a grease stain showing up beside the axle boot.
Never reached state it showed itself on corners.
I think dealership during winter just needed any work, even warranty.

There was a noise change - this was the newer axle version. As yours would be.

Perhaps it's quieter so you hear the regen more now.

Otherwise there would be no connection change between the two.

Unless - they somehow lost enough tranny fluid, and didn't fill it up.
Shaking axles for long enough could cause some bearing seal issues.
Not sure if that would seal correctly after no more shaking on new axles, or need replaced.
Perhaps there was minimum loss, but your fluid level was already below desired. Several reports of 22/23 being low from the factory made me check mine on 1st oil change. I was good.

Motors are at the top of the tranny, not sure if fluid level reaches them anyway - they do get sprayed with it at least.

Very good observations. I have the cvt fluid to do a drain and fill. I'll see how much comes out, and if there is any difference is sound afterwards.
