I changed my axles on both sides and now when I accelerate near 3k it vibrates. I checked the bushings and all, nothing obvious. I know my shocks are blown but this vibration started as soon as I changed the axles. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

 

i had the same problem. i changed one of my wife's teg axles with a vatozone special because it was cheap and i needed the car on the road quick. it was a "brand new" axle, but it did not have the rubber dampener that the stock one had. in the end i had to reboot my oem axle and replace the vatozone axle with the stocker. that made the vibration go away. ive never had luck with aftermarket axles, that is why i always reboot my stockers. goodluck.

 

I had this exact issue too. They gave me another axle and told me to try it. It did the same thing. So I just got a reman axle from keystone. No problems since.

 

install error?

 

it would be hard to mess up the installation unless the splines on either end were mangled.

you could swap the axles side for side to confirm that it's not your suspension, but that's a lot of work.

so, did you buy autozone axles?

 

I have the same exact problem. It is the axles. The dampner on the center of the axle like the factory axle will fix this.

 

Uh, yeah I bought autozone axles. Duralast to be exact. I'm not sure what the dampener on the axle is??

 

I had the same problem with autozone duralast axles. After wasting half a day swapping both NEW axles only to have a vibration problem, I return it back. Now I am not sure what brand of axles to get. What brand of axles did you have good luck with? The two brands I am considering are:

EMPI
FEQ

I also will check out napa and carquest for the axles. If you have any success with after market cv axles, please share with me. Thanks.

 

I just had this problem but mine shook like crazy with autozone axles. I like the Oreilly autoparts axles. Dont get the cheap one though. Go with the premium, its only 10 dollars more and they dont need your old axle. No core charge is bad *** IMO.

check the inner cv joint for pitting on the surface that the bearing rides on it will make the car shake hard under accel yes that means splitting the boot and gettin ur hands dirty or just like most ppl on this site throw every part u can think of at it till its fixed

 

might be a lose lug nut on the wheel.
changed both my axels the other week.
drove the car right after and it was making a weird sound cos a lug nut was lose.
not sure if thats your problem tho.

 

After getting vibration with the Autozone "NEW" axles I went with CarQuest remanufactured axle and have no vibration what so ever. The axle from CarQuest looks identical to the unit that went bad and they come with a limited life time warranty as well. Plus it only cost $60 + tax which is less than the ones at autozone.

 

im having this problem with a napa axle...how much more are keystone axles?

 

Good luck with that!
