Sounds like your problem might be the brake pads shifting inside of the calipers. check to see if your calipers have the butterfly looking springs in them that keep tension on the pads. Also if the pads a cheap aftermarket ones they just might not be a perfect fit.

Axles won't typically click when going straight unless they're really, really screwed. They can and will wobble under acceleration if the inner joints are bad though.

I took two mock ASE test on Engine Performance and Engine Repair. I passed at age 17. I'm a Honda God now too. I own my own business and blow your 17.50/hr out of the water.

Money and certifications don't matter. Its whether you have the brain to solve a real world problem then fix it properly.

There are tons of shadetree's on here who know way more than you do and can fix it better, faster, and cheaper than you can.

Awwww, you poor little thing. Did you get your e-feelings hurt when I backed up my terminology with a link to Raxles? Or did it happened when you got OWNED by everyone else?

I don't care what you say you make, what you say you do, or what credentials you say you have. Your credibility has been shot to hell. Repeatedly shot to hell.

And you called me a shadetree....

You did make them exchange them right? If they refuse call the number on the back of their delivery truck. They'll exchange them.

How do you not have time for an axle install. It'll take 30 minutes if you slack off lol. Where do you live I'll come do it for you for cheap.

You can do it yourself, it's very simple. Go into the search and search for Creator B18C5-EH2 and searce for Topic "diy axle" should come up, if not just scroll through the axle threads

Edit: found it! https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=382416 lol
