Well i recently bought a 1993 Accord LX with 39,000 miles, and bought it even tho it had a vibration in the steering wheel because the new tires that were on were not balanced. Well I took it to the shop to get the tires balanced at 8:30 am and at 3 pm i called to see if it was ready and they said the axle was going to need to be replaced. They said it would cost $300 with the inspection. So I said fine, because I wanted to get the car running on the road. Well my dad picked it up and okayed it, so I took it out tonight.

On the way out and on the way home I felt the vibrations again in the 40-55 mph zone and heard a loud sound when i turned the steering wheel as far over as I could. The vibration even got worse through turns. Well I was upset, because I thought the problem was fixed, but now it is back again, but not as bad. So I am going to take it to the shop tomorrow.

Well i thought the loud sound might be from a lack of power steering fluid, but that was checked and okayed, so I am not sure what the prob is. Oh the report said something about a fixed U-Joint. And I checked out the old axle, the CV Boot was shifted about 2-3 inches from where it was supossed to have been. I am going to take it to the shop in the morning. Any suggestions? I appreciate helpful comments.

 

check the tie rods, dude, that's one hell of cv axle, 300 dollar

my local shop do it the same job the sameday with free alignment for 200 tax included.

 

yeah well it was like 140 for parts they said, then 80 for labor and 80 for the inspection. I told my dad that I wanted to do it, but I don't have the tools or the experience and he just wanted to get the car on the road.
