Wierd axle problems
Within the last 6 months I've had unusual axle problems on my '91 Integra, both with reman'd axles. The pass side axle got a tight spot which caused an ungodly vibration because the whole engine/trans was shifting as the wheel went around. The drivers side went out a couple days ago and was causing a vibration at freeway speeds and every once in a while it would pull ~very~ hard to the left with no warning. When I got off the interstate, it sounded like something was fixing to fall out from under the car, but everthing looked normal. Once I got the axle out the outer joint feels like maybe there's pieces floating around in it causing it to lock up sporadically.
In both cases the axle looked to be in perfect shape, no broken boot or damage of any kind. The engine is completely stock, so I shouldn't be over-stressing the axles. Any ideas?
The first one I was willing to chalk up as a fluke, but the last one left me stranded 600 miles into a 2200 mile road trip. Now I've got to go the 2200 miles back home after new years and I'm not feeling too good about it.
TIA

Reman. axles are none for that. Try to see if you can get a set of oem 99-01 axles since these will most likely have low mileage. You will also need to get a 94-01 halfshaft and axle seal
