I just got done installing a new passenger side axel on my b16a eg. When im in 3rd gear and accelerate the car shakes(dosnt shake really hard though, enough just for me to feel and things to vibrate in my car). wat could it be?

You could have gotten a bad remanufactured axle. Did you get one that had a new outer joint or on that was just repaired? You could also have lost a wheel weight. I chased this problem for a year before the place I got the bad drive shaft replaced it under warranty

i think it was just remanufactured.. not sure .. thats what they told me. plus it was a 94 gsr axle. it fits perfectly but after i was done it just started shaking. o yea and i forgot to add that its a b16a2 tranny. if it makes any difference

the trans doesn't make a difference. Any shaft you get will be remanufactured.....but some are better then others. Tell the parts store you want the cv axle replaced under warranty. Tell them you want a cv axle that has a new outer joint on it........ you might pay a little bit more. Be ready to get one that could be better, the same, or worse. If that doesn't fix it you could pony up the extra $$ and get a reman from the dealer.

I'm also going to bank on the axle being a defective reman. take it back and get another one till it goes away.
