Just picked up my new rear axles last week...

600.00 retail for each, i paid 790.00 for both.

i had the same problem.

hope everything works out.

casey honda off george washington hwy in newport news.

 

$600.00 an axle!? jeeeez. $790.00 is a deal. . .i guess. . .

vibration under acceleration caused by inner cv joints--

i would have just bought the inner cv joint kit. it comes with the housing, bearings, bearing holder, retainer clips, cv joint grease, boots, and boot clamps. you can get the kit for about $200.00 a side.



(#'s 1, 5, 7, 9, and 12)

overhauling the axle takes a bit more work, and can get pretty messy- but the money saved is worth it i think.

if anyone needs axle rebuild/s with new inner or outer joint/s:
take your axles out and bring them to me, i'll install the joints for $50.00 an axle with a quick turn-around time.

 

just got a call from custom care care. it is in fact my rear inner cv housings ( as if there was any doubt) gonna pic of the car when i get off work, grab my paper work and head over to honda. i wonder whats gonna happen next?

 

Good to hear, EJ!

 

yea now the next half of the battle is about to take place. lol

 

How can you do an inspection yourself to see if it's the CV?

 

Take it off, clean out old grease and inspect. If it looks like this:



then you need to replace them. Swapping them from side-to-side is a bandaid that sometimes works. It didn't in my case and I ended having to do the work twice.

 

Also, I believe billman250 had a way to check without even removing the wheels.

 

hm, i'll have to look around for that post.
