Default Vibration under load

Recently replaced both front axles on a 96 EX (EX-R). Now when the car is under any sort of load there's slight (but obvious) vibration. Generally it's felt more in 2nd gear up. Again it's only when under load, cruising there's no issue, braking there's no issue and when the clutch is in.

Now I'm not sure if it's an out of balance axle or else my toe is out. Just curious to see if anyone has any other ideas that I might not have thought of.

if it was not doing it before the new axles,, it might well be that one of the axles is bad,, mostly the ledft axle .i have seen a few bad inner joints,,
if still under warranty , swap the axle,, and test drive the car ..

That's what I'm planning to do this weekend. I'm thinking it's most likely the problem as well. However I was wondering if it was more likely the passenger side as it's the main drive axle.

did you mark your tie rods and such before you removed them? Did you tighten everything up properly?

Ties rods didn't have to be removed.

The CR-V's do that too but it isn't normal for an Accord. Go ahead and change out the driveshafts.
