i recently had new axles put on my DC2 and now there is a clicking/rattling noise coming from where the axles go into the tranny, for example when im in 2nd or 3rd gear and you tap the gas and let off you can hear the noise and if you jack up one side of the car leaving the front right on the ground and if i rotate the front left wheel back and forth you can hear the noise not sure if anyone could help me out? sorry its hard to explain if i sound mentally handicaped

Make sure the axles are installed correctly: fully seated in the tranny and both axle nuts tightened.

Otherwise, you may have a wrong axle or a defective one. I try not to use re-manned axles because it's always a crap shoot on quality.

well they are not remanufactured axles they are brand new ones from oreilys and i had a shop install them so im thinking about bringing them back

If the shop you went to is a good, reputable one, they should have no problem checking over their work. Just go back and nicely tell them what the problem is.

the shop said with my car being lowered it puts a lot of strain on the axles and the noises they cant help due to my car being lowered

^^^^ that sounds like a load of **** to me. if i were you i would take the axel nut off and hit the end of it with a plastic dead blow hammer to ensure the axels a in all the way. if it wasnt making the noise before it shouldnt now. ive seen guys slammed i mean sideskirts on the ground and they still drive abnormal noise free.

That is a BS answer!!!!

My car is lowered. I just replaced both axles. The old ones were clicking because they were bad, no noise at all with the new ones though.
Axles may wear SLIGHTLY faster on a lowered car, but new ones should not make noise. Sounds like it might be time for you to learn how to do the job yourself.
