Default S2000 Rear end vibration under acceleration

Have a 2003 honda s2000 and at about 38-50 mph I have a vibration that seems like it is coming from the rear under acceleration and doesn't vibrate when I let off the gas.

I HAVE ALREADY:

Replaced BOTH cv axles with brand new axles.

Gotten a wheel balance

Had axle spacers and removed them.

Swapped rims to see if it was the tires


STILL VIBRATES!!!! GETTING VERY OLD !!! Please help??

They are aftermarket axles that are made by the same manufacturer that makes OEM axles. So it's the same axle and inner cv joints but different bushings

I hope you didn't toss your old axles...the OE axles are hollow shaft, almost all aftermarket shafts, even if theyre from the same manufacturer as OE, are going to be solid...which wont get rid of the vibration...if you still have your old axles, swap the inner buckets that go into the diff from left to right and your vibration will be gone

P.S. what the **** did you go over to scrape that tube frame so bad?

I have the same problem but i resolve it changing the CV JOINT right for left and left for right
And thats it
Or other option is buy the Megan spacers

Well the axle I bought looks EXACTLY the same as the oem axles so I'm pretty sure these axles are hallow shaft as well?


And my friend was driving my car as I bought a truck we were on the way back and he spun out and went over a curb !

Look what do you have to change is the cv bucket
Look why the car shaking the piece is worn.
Heres a link with pictures

Yes I saw that on my old axle and bought new ones and it still does it! That's why I'm confused! But apparently solid axles don't fix it but idk why...

You only have to do is invert the buckets and done
Its more cheaper than buy new axles.
Good luck
