I installed a pair of new CV axles, and the new hub/hub bearing on the driver side.. The problem is the lower ball joint boot torn on the driver side and Im not sure is that a problem of the steering wheel shaking.. Here is the pic of the ball joint:



PS The tires were mounted and balance..

 

What axles are they?

Chances are if they are auto zone or something like that then the axles are not balanced properly.

 

I bought them from Advanced Autopart..

 

my guess of the shaking only when accelerating would be the axles. install go ok? are they in all the way? and if your ball joint boot is bad, i would replace it. not saying thats causing the shaking.

 

Axles. Or more specifically the inner joints (assuming the axles are seated completely, etc.). A lot of aftermarket axles are poor quality. If your budget allows, go for the OEM remans from Acura. Otherwise, someone else here may be able to suggest an aftermarket source they've had good results with.

 

OEM =

I've had nothing buy problems with every Advance Autoparts CV axle I've used... Installed a pair in my '94 Civic, and they shook like you described.

Do you still have your stock axles? I'd recommend getting them rebuilt. Runs about $30 a piece at the local place in town.

 

i had the same problem... change out the axle where the shaking was coming from and eliminated the problem

Have had excellent service with them. About to order another set tomorrow for another car.

The product is vastly superior to the cheap remans. No problems what-so-ever.

 

Thanks, I want to get the OEM axle to rebuild but I have trouble taking the CV axle off the Spindle arm. It took me 7 hours take it off because it had rusty.. But the outer CV joint has a mushroom cuz I hit them with 5 ton hammer.. I thought they cant get them rebuild and that's why I throw them away in trash...

 

I'm having the same problem too accellerating from low speeds, and I'm pretty sure it's the axles, because it does it with whatever wheels I put on it.

 

py you should seriously listen to what everyone has been saying. Raising your car from stunna slizzammed ride height will alleviate a lot of your suspension problems. Especially because you're posting a lot more frequently about odd wear issues, rubbing, rapid part failures etc, and dont really sound like you know what you're doing anyway.
