if it's the inner joint boot that is busted, then yes. When the inner CV joints go bad, the car vibrates really bad during acceleration.

well your axle will pop and the tire will just lay there and it could happen while you are driving and ge stuck on the road..
a simple $15 dollars will save you hundreds and headaches

You have a inbalance somewhere. First thing I would do is check you wheel bearings. A axel that is going out can cause hell on wheel bearings, and cause them to fail. I see it all the time at my shop.
Next thing I would do is put the car in park and rev the engine. Say 6000 or so. Is their any vibration at all. If not its not mechanical in the engine and its not your motor mounts.
On solid stands nothing flemsy pull the wheels off put the car in gear and rev it up and let it decel. Any vibration. Run through all of your gears. If nothing Next thing to check is Wheel inbalance.

Did you get a BRAND NEW axle, or a rebuilt? I went through 3 sets of rebuilt axles in just a few months back in 2004 because I kept getting crap axles that would vibrate right out of the box after putting them in the car.
ok i jack her up took my wheels off. and i see that its coming from the driver side could it be that axle to? i mean it shakes really bad that the whole motor and tranny moves nasty. and also i have to kick the driver side hub so it can spin. what could it be?
so what was your remedy? bought a brand new one? i spent 700 on dss stage 2.9 axles, and this will be the 3rd time i send the drivers side back, they wont replace only rebuild.
the 1 i replaced was the passenger but its working fine it was a rebuilt. but my driver side tire shakes really bad i jack it up and shakes really hard
