could a bad axle cause a front end vibration?
could a bad axle cause front end vibration? I had a B16 swapped into my ek about 6 months ago. Now when I accelerate I get a vibration from the passenger side. I'm sure my rims are straight and it's not a balance issue. I have checked all the bolts and motor mounts and everything looks good. I have even jacked the car up and wiggled the wheel to check for any play and nothing. Sometimes when I take turns around 40mph (nothing crazy just normal daily driving) I get a jerking feeling that seems to come from that same side and can be felt in the steering wheel.

tires are in really good shape. I'm pretty sure I just got **** axles with my swap and just covering my bases before I start replacing stuff.

Yea, I'd replace the axles that came with the swap. Whether they appear to be bad or not.
