Default vibrating after installing new axles

Ok guys, my inner cv boots were ripped so i got all 4 boots thinking id get away cheap without replacing axles. well i replace the boots drive and the car is vibrating like crazy. get it back in the air and take the inner boots off and bearings are destroyed. I got re-man axles from autozone next day, and now the vibrating is continued. my car never vibrated till i replaced those boots and then now i have replaced the axles. could anything else be causing this vibration? It only vibrates on acceleration. any ideas guys? could it be possible that i got a bad re-man axle?

gonna do that is it possible to be too low for your axles? Like the angle at which they sit does that matter at all? Someone suggested that is why i am getting vibrating but i never had vibrating before when i had oem axles. just started after i installed the new re-man ones. so does anyone know if the angle affects the axles?

Yes, slamming the car will put your axles at an odd angle which will decrease their useful life, or so I hear. While I've never driven around in a slammed car, let alone for an extended period of time, the theory is sound.

Some people don't have the best luck with these. You might want to take them up on their lifetime warranty.
