Vibration during acceleration

Kage87 · Post by **Kage87** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 12:11 am

My buddy Mike (MikeCX93) just had new axles installed and now when he accelerates semi-aggressively/aggressively he gets vibration through the steering-wheel and even through the body itself. He was wondering if the axles could be out of balance or what else the problem could be? He doesn't get on as much as I do so I'll be relaying the info for him, but any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help in advance!

check to make sure your lugnuts and axle nut are tight.. ive had lugnuts loosen up before and cause alot of vibration.

also take it in for a alignment if you havent done so in a while. and get your wheels balanced if they havent been balanced in a while.

is there any way to have them balanced? and if so where locally could he have something like that done?

you say they are brand new (rebuilt) axles? well then its probably not the axles themselves. check over the install and also what i said above and you will have it fixed.

even a lot of rebuilt axles are rebuilt like crap.

Thanks Mike and Rick I'll make sure he checks all of those things out, and if you guys think of anything else that would be great because i know both of you have a lot of experience with Hondas and any help would be great!

yea...where did you get the axles installed? and what "brand" ?

yes it could just be junk new axles. but i would go ahead and still check everything else anyways.
