alright...swapped my axles with a new set from autozone. i replaced them with 90 DA axles. i now have vibration at low rpms and when accelerating. Talked to a friend that works there and he said that another friend of ours apparently has the same problem. then he brought something to my attention that i had noticed on my old axles. My old axles had like a round rubber balancer, or what ever you want to call it, on them and these new ones don't. could this be the cause?

Buying autozone axles are pretty much a 50/50 chance of getting a good axle. Just don't by the remanufactured ones they sale. The remanufacture ones seem to go bad. Get the brand new axle because it comes with a lifetime warranty. I to noticed the OEM axles that come with the rubber balancer. I have not had any issues using axles that don't have the rubber balancer.

I just wasted half a day installing brand new autozone axles on my 97 accord and had the same vibration you described. The axles on my accord that I am trying to replace are aftermarket but have no vibration problem. Now I am not sure what brand of axles to get. I plan to give napa and carquest a try. Were you able to find a good replacement axle without the vibration?

i found a set of good condition oem axles on ebay for $45, i'm going to get them if i can't find anything local. someone mentioned that i would have had better luck going to Napa.

I get the ones from Advanced Auto Parts, have no issues at all with them. No random vibration or anything unusual.

Who makes them Cardone?

I got the a remanufactured CarQuest axle and have no vibration at all. It came with a limited life time warranty and cost only $60 + tax. Stay away from new axles that are manufactured in China. The 2 sets of axles I got from Autozone caused vibration and are not to OE standard. I usually have good luck with Autozone and had never had any problem until these axles though.

i just bought a set of 90 Integra GS axles and rebuilding a set of axles. i think from now on i'm just going to rebuild my axles instead of buying new or re-manufactured

sh!ft

seems like yall just got the shitty batch of axles. ive been buying and swapping out my axles on warranty for about 2 or 3 years now. never had a problem with em...EVER

It may well be a bad batch but I hate wasting time to reinstall axles over and over. My experience with autzone axles reflect poor quality control of their products. I'd rather get a good axle the first time even if I pay a little more to avoid the headaches and frustration of bad axles.

I've gotten axles from Autozone before.... never had any issues.
I think it's just random. Go with Napa axles, they are a little bit more but they do have better quality control

same here i have been using axels from there for years.

Kamu & Charlie: Were the axles "NEW" or remanufactured? I think the "NEW" axles built in China might lack quality control. The autozone I went to didn't have remanufactured axles, only the NEW ones.

the ones i bought were new, and i wasn't the only one who bought them that had a vibration problem

I had the same issue you had. Try a remanufactured axle to see if that will fix your vibration issue. The remanufactured axle I end up getting looks identical to the current axle and solve the vibration problem.

well i already have a set of oem axles being shipped to me, but when i return them i will ask to see a set of re-manufactured axles
