Re: New Axles = shaking under acceleration

Probably not it...but did you ever get a front end alignment after all that suspension work?
Some people overlook that and having it all aligned makees a huge difference usually.

Yes, when I finished it the car was way out of alignment as expected. Got it aligned at Sears and everything was cool until I decided to see what she really had .... which was just enough to kill an axle .... now all these probs

Called Pepboys today. $69.99 + $50 core ea for remans ... they don't have new ones.

Re: New Axles = shaking under acceleration

UPDATE: So I got a chance to talk to the store manager and told him the whole story and that I was less than satisfied with not having any cores to turn in elsewhere and so he refunded me $45 for ea core

So I went to another AZ location and they ordered me some NEW ones no problem ... supposed to be here tuesday

Awesome. Hopefully the new ones stop your shaking.

New axles are in and car runs smooth

Just nice smooth acceleration with some turbo hissing, then a bump in the road, and some scraping sounds
