Default Axles from NAPA good or bad?

i have a 94 hatch with a 95 LS motor and my axles are goin bad both driver and passenger side so i was looking for some new axles. At first i was looking towards getting new acura oem axles but the price is a lil too much for me so i found some after market axles from Napa. My question is have any of u guys bought axles or any major car parts from Napa and is it good? The axles their selling is about $100 for some brand new ones. Any help would be good. Thanks

okay i just replaced both the driver/passenger side axles today. When im on 1st gear letting go of the clutch and hittin the gas my car still vibrates .. not as big as before but the dashboard still shakes and vibrate. Is this common with swap motor? The motor doesnt shake or rock when u push it or anything like that or do i just need to let the axle break in?

I think you need to learn how to driving a manual car a little more...

autozone, napa, and discount/advance auto aprts all use the same reman for axles. The part #'s are the same. I know this at least for 88-91 civic and 90-93 integra.

I agree. If it shakes when you accelerate from a stop(but is fine at cruising speeds), then chances are it is a broken motor mount.

Sadly this could also be the culprit.

if one of my motor mount is loose or broken the motor will rock when u push it right? cuz the motor sit still it doesnt rock or anything even when i put my feet up agaisnt it and try to see if the motor is in good or not. As for the driving how does my car vibrating have to do with me learning how to drive stick? I said it vibrates letting go on 1st i didnt say the car bobs like when u first learn how to drive a stick car. I've been driving a stick for 5 years now. so i know its not that.

if they are lifetime warranty then go with them because you can do cv's in about 40 minutes
just keep replacing them

im not kicking the motor like that what im trying to say is u can tell if your motor is not sitting right or is not put in right just by lookin at it, if its sitting straight or if u push it and it rocks then u'll know that the mount is not good.
