put the car in the air(just the front) and check for side to side play in your inner and outter tierods and B.J.'a

Everythings tight. I just rebuilt this car from being totaled. Every part forward of the firewall including a section of frame. Got it all together, hwy patrol inspected, sears aligned, turboed it, all ran and drove fine until the snapped axle leading to these replacements now this ----.

So heres what I am planning for tomorrow:

Pull the passenger side and replace with the stocker (with fingers crossed that its the problem). If it no longer shakes I'll take the new passenger side axle to be exchanged, if it still does I'll pull the new drivers side axle and take it into be exchanged ... I wish my drivers side stocker wasn't in 2 pieces so that I could narrow the problem down to one of the new ones .. or be sure that its both ...

I am not into the balancing deal, I don't have the extra $100 to spend or else I would have got raxles or something ... plus I don't feel like I should have to pay $100 to have brand new axles balanced, Auto Zone should sell me working ones the first time ....

your axle if they are from autozone carry a lifetime gaurentee(sp?) i had a civic with a LS swap shook HORRIBLY i thought the car was gonna fall apart and it turns out the axle was warped it looked perfect but it was fucked, i changed it took the shaking awake instantly and all problems were no more, hope this helps.

It's pretty much what we have to pay for to get ---- that works like OEM still w/o the huge price-tag. I've checked all of my joints numerous times and they're all fine..I honsetly wish this problems was that simple. I mean your car will run fine shaking under acceleration, it'll probably hurt the tranny a bit in the end but my friend has been boosting his teg for a year w/the shaky axles and his car is still fine (and he does big smoky burnouts all the time on his LS tranny).

There would be no living with my problem ... 3rd @ 10psi would be shakin to pieces and runing people off the road.

I swapped the passenger side axle for the stocker and it stopped it. Took the axle back to auto zone (did you know they sell these remanned ones and a "new" axle for $99.99 ? I never even knew...) and exchanged it for another reman ... I'll swap it in tomorrow and see if its gonna work.

Yeah I think there is certain degrees of shaking w/the axles. My unboosted LS does it to a lesser degree than my friend's boosted one. I'll have to see how my friend's LS-CRX is though, we just put new remans in it, but w/the solid motor mounts and the open header everything is already vibrating to hell and its kinda hard to tell what the hell is going on w/the car beyond that it runs and pulls. Once the exhaust is hooked up we should be able to tell if they shake though.

JFoster

I have solid mounts and did have open DP and the car ir rough at idle but when pulling through boost its pretty smooth ... I would say if you had a problem like mine you would know it , there is no missing it .... you could put a 4yr old in the car and they would be like " WTF, something is wrong with this car" ....


Got the new reman in today. I would say there is slightly more vibration under full boost acceleration than with the stockers but much better than the violent shaking I had the first round. And its fine cruising or accelerating to pass on the hwy etc so I am gonna live with it until the car kills them ...

JFoster

ok, so I took it out just now and it went from not so bad to as bad as ever from one pull to another .... OMFG .... I am going to end myself.

That just sux.
