vibration under acceleration! HELP! PLEASE!
so here's my situation...
about a month ago, i broke my differential and both axles at the drag strip on about my 5th run...so it was a good opportunity to install an LSD, which we did...we also changed both axles with rebuilt ones from the local autozone...
everything was great for about a week until i noticed a weird vibration in the front end only when i accelerated and only between ~20-40mph (it would go away above that)...turns out that my autozone driver's side axle was actually a POS and broke on me from just daily driving in under 2 weeks...
'cuz i have that lifetime warranty, i went ahead and got the axle replaced for free...the new one also seemed great for a week...'til the same crap happened...but this time i took the axle out before it broke (it started to make clunking sounds from play)
SO...i got an axle from a different store...and this one made vibration from the get-go...i returned it immediately and got my money back...
fed up with POS rebuilt axles...i went to a local tuner shop and picked up an oem-spec Summer axle...put it in...and that's where i'm at right now...
the vibration's somewhat better but still there...i couldn't imagine this one from the shop to be bad (I MEAN...HOW BAD CAN MY LUCK WITH AXLES BE?!?!)...
SO, here's my question...because there's still somewhat of a vibration under acceleration within that same speed range...during all this chaos, has my PASSENGER side axle decided to go bad on me too? what do you think? PLEASE HELP! I'M DYING~~

I wish I could tell you something more constructive, but If I were you I would take it to a front end shop and let them check it out. Sounds like something is just out of adjustment. You should also check to make shure your motor mounts are good because I have had a simular vibration that starts and stops at certain engine rpm's because of a mount. Best of luck

I experienced vibration in my car a while back, the shop (honda dealer) replaced both my axle (pass and driver side) that solved my problem. If I where you, I'll bring it to a shop that will that give some warranty on there work.
