I just installed a brand new axle for my 95 civic sedan. I am just curious if any one else has had the problem when you put it in gear and take off fast makes a thump sound. It also happends when braking. Any one know if it could be a bad axle we installed twice to make sure everything was good but it keeps doing it.

It is very likely you received a bad axle, especially if it was remanufactured. Even if it was 100% new, it could have been poorly built and can be bad. I have received a few bad ones over the years, it does happen.

thats what I was thinking, the guy at the shop said give it a day might just need to break in. I never broke an axle in but if not gone tomm ill change it. It usually when it is under most pressure sounds like a knock

bad axle or maybe its not in all the way?

SIDreamer

correct me if im wrong but the guy said the noise will go away just needs to break in and move around for a bit. I just went for a drive, and I did not hear the sound. Is this really true because I never had heard of it?

stock engine? maybe a nut is loose. the lower ball joint nut?

SIDreamer

Is the lower ball joint the one under the brakes? If so I used impact gun on all thoose. It is a stock engine. The nise comes more when accelerated. The noise sounds like a old opening door now!!

check your motor mounts. one of the bolts may be loose. especially on the t bracket going to the transmission.
