Honda Prelude aftermarket axle vibration under acceleration

[elnoyl]

I replaced both axles on my car due to busted boots and clicking.

Was the vibration present prior to the axle replacement ? I would swap the tires front to back and see if the vibration goes away . do you have any vibration in the steering wheel ?

[elnoyl]

no vibration in the steering wheel. No there wasn’t the vibration before and i only feel it between those speeds.

How did you install the wheels? I just want to make sure you didn’t hammer them on with an impact with no torque limiter. I mean no offense, but I gotta ask. Does it only occur between those speeds and not during braking, etc? If not then I would return the axle, as it sounds like you un-lucked into a bad part. Keep us posted man, and good (better) luck.

[elnoyl]

yeah just hand torqued them

It may be the parts but it could also be your installation so you should go back and check your work first thing, in particular make sure the axles are fully seated inside the transmission, if not this could be the cause of your vibration. If your install is good you might want to change out the axles and recheck for the symptom.

[elnoyl]

have you had problems using aftermarket axles in the past?

Could be play in the inner CV boot.

I sure have but check your installation first to rule that out as a possible cause.
