symptoms of a bad axle?
well I've looked over my CV boots, and the whole driveshaft no twisting or anything.. but the spindle nut looks notched ..and I don't mean the locking notch it has.. it has a seconary one on the opposite side..and everytime I drive I hear this thud thud sound at slow speeds.. but yet have no problems turning and hear no clicking when I turn it's a 98 civic/ b18b any help will be appreciated and it's on the driver's side

Re: symptoms of a bad axle? (IM ALL BOB)
A bad inner joint can cause a wobbling under acceleration, but I'm not real sure about the noise you describe.
It's really hard to e-diagnose a car from a noise standpoint, but if all fails then just replace the axle again.
You do have a lifetime warranty on the axle, right?
Oh yeah, the "Secondary notch" is probably where that nut has been restaked because it was probably used again after an axle was replaced once before. It *shouldn't* be anything to be alarmed about.
