Under load I have a knock and shake that gets worse when turning right and under acceleration. Visually CV boots look fine. I put the van in the air and put it in gear no obvious bounce or shake. I replaced driver side axle about four years ago due to inside Cv dried out boots were completely torn away. This does not have the same shake or sound. Just looking for your opinion. I am thinking passenger side axle but not thoroughly convinced.

Good afternoon,

Raise the vehicle again and recheck both side inner CV joints. Very common for them to cause shaking and vibration on accelerating.

When you look at them, see if you can move the joint up and down. That play is what causes the issue.
