Default Broken diff? bent rim. axles???

So for sum time now i have had a slight shudder under acceleration. but over the past few weeks it seems to be getting worse, now under load in any gear at any speed the car shakes a good amount, ie door panels,dash,change ect. and sum times for instance in 5th gear at 60-65 when i go WOT the car doesn't want to accelerate like it should,
Before this started i had broke both axles and replaced them with oriley axles. and this is now my 3rd set...
I have had pepole tell me everything from a broken diff ( usdm ITR trann BTW ), tie rods,axles and bent rim or rims.
opinions please

I had the same thing with remanufactured axles. It happened on both sides. I just replaced them with used OEM axles ...problem solved. You probably seperated the inner joint while putting them in. If you pulled on them or let them rest so that they stretched, they seperate very easily if it's not an OEM axle. I guess they also dont fit as well. They seemed a little too "thick" when I put them in.

Try getting a used OEM axle...they will work a lot better.

this happened to my buddy with his integra, which ended up being a bushing in the front end.. he replaced everything.. tierods, axles, ball joints but nothin helped.. it was a bushing Im not exactly sure which one maybe lower control arm or something with the sway bar if i remember correctly..

now, my other friend is experiencing the same problem in his civic.. hes now on his 3rd axle, drivers side. hes swapping LCA's out right now.. ill let you know if that helps or what he finds

Any results? I have a slight shudder under acceleration as well. Didn't happen until after I took it all apart after breaking my diff at the track. But I put in an AutoZone axle and now it shakes. Feels like my mounts are ****-housed or something. Please post up what you find out.

dude you would know if it was your mounts... and if you don't heres how you check..... Put the ebrake on, put in gear with hood open and someone looking at the motor, then try to drive forward a little bit. The motor will move if the mounts are bad.

That is the EXACT same thing that happened to BOTH of my aftermarket rebuilt axles that I got with my swap. It just wobbles up and down as it turns, right?

It's seperated. You have to be careful putting them. Push, but never pull.
