UPDATE: 12/1/2012 I've replaced my axles with OEM axles (checked buckets before installing), and even replaced my differential (went 4.77). While replacing the differential we noticed a broken diff mount bushing so I replaced both of the front diff mount bushings. Unfortunately, the vibration still persists. Also, I've replaced the rear tires and had them balanced and got a new 4-wheel alignment. I'm not sure where to go now. >.< The vibration starts around 45-50 and continues probably infinitely as speed increases. The intensity of the vibration correlates with the amount of throttle applied. Any ideas where to go from here? Wheel bearings? Driveshaft? I have no idea,I'm a mechanical noob.





Hello everyone. I've got a pesky issue and I'm trying to help get some ideas on what to check. I had vibration due to CVs before and ignored it for too long. Eventually I shredded my CV bucket. I replaced both axles/CVs with aftermarket and now I've got vibration around 30-45 MPH (before it was around 60).

What are some things I can check? I went with aftermarket axles and I can't remember the brand. I'm trying to contact my parts person to find out. Could it be an aftermarket axle issue or should I be checking other things? I'm lowered 1 inch and am not running any spacers.

 

Bahh! Do a search....,

 

Thanks for the help s2000maniac. I did quite a few searches and I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm mainly trying to see if this can be the cause of aftermarket axles, or if something else could be causing it. I always search, I'm just not very knowledgeable on automotive stuff so I have to ask for some guidance.

I understand how forums work. Search first, then ask.

 

Billman said <h1> OEM </h1> is this bestt

 

yueeep its the aftermarket (=

 

Yeah I was thinking about trying to find a set of OEMs for sale, I think I may end up going that route. Unfortunately when my axle bucket caved I needed something quick. I'll see if I can find a reasonably prices set of OEMs.

 

Have seen plenty of aftermarket axles vibrate right out of the box.

The oem are large, hollow, precision. Never give them up. Fix them.

 

Thanks for your input, everyone!

 

I had aftermarket axles in mine. Even with axle spacers they still vibrated like crazy. My money is on that.

Buy some used ones off the forum. Flip them before you install them in the car. Much easier that way.

 

Exactly what I was looking for Sceanzo, thanks! I've made a post in the WTB section and I've got my eyes peeled for some OEMs!
