Check the motor mounts for sag that would apply a lateral load to the CV axles by weight transfer. The CV shafts don't have much axial play to work with, so if the drivetrain is sitting lower in relation to the front wheel axis, what little axial play there was in the shafts is now taken up by the axis of the differential hanging lower. The engine/transmission will then start to transfer it's weight directly thru the axle shafts to the wheels instead of transferring it's weight thru the engine mounts, to the body, and then to the wheels.
Try torque braking it GENTLY (it's an Odyssey) on a paved surface with a ruler vise-gripped to the hoist hook as a pointer you can see from the driver's seat.
Too much movement will be easy to discern from what's normal.
Also, try swapping sides with the front tires to see if the dynamics change.
