Hi,

New to the forums. Have read some great stuff here, you guys have an awesome forum going.

My question is about a vibration I am experiencing. I've done a mild search on the forum and didnt find anything. I have a 1996 civic DX 4dr non-abs. I replaced my front axels earlier this week, everything went fine. Had to chase some threads and tap a nut, but other than that it went smooth. Got the axels from autozone.

The vibration was only noticed after this replacement. It is a low frequency vibration, and I really only notice it >40MPH, although this may be due to the low frequency.

At any rate, where can I look?
I checked tire pressure.
Balancing?
Alignment?
Bent rim?
Did I get a bent axel?

Thanks for your time.

 

Do you notice it above 40mph or below?

 

Do you have performance tires?

if you do, make sure their spinning in the right direction.

 

change out those axles. autozone parts are ****.

i tend to agree. if the vibration was not present, then ther eafter the axle swap, then the axles are junk. i have gotten brand new axles drom dss over the years with the same symptoms.

 

Thanks for the replies.


I really don't notice it below 40.

No, not performance tires.

OK, if autozone parts are ****, can either of you two recommend a place to get parts other than the dealer?

Thanks

 

i highly rec0ommend raxles axles. i use their high performance ones in my race car and their oem replacements in my street car. tell marty that chris from new york sent you....
