rear end vibration under acceleration with brand new driveshaft shop axles.
 
I had no vibrations before taking my car down to change hubs and bearings in the rear but i went ahead and replaced the stock axles with some level 0 axles from drive shaft shop just to future proof the car a little bit. I am now getting a vibration only under acceleration from about 40-60 mph which seems to trail off after that. Everything that i have been looking up points to CV buckets but the axles are brand new. Im pretty sure I installed the bearings and hubs correctly; I followed the DIY on robrobinette.com to a tee with the updates from billman about how to support the bearing races and everything.

-The wheels seem to spin freely enough when up in the air so i do not think it is a hanging brake caliper.
-Tire pressures are good and the alignment is fine.
-Axles are BRAND NEW name brand units.
-Fairly certain I installed the bearings and hubs properly.

Are the DSS axles you bought a Honda rebuilt axle or a solid shaft reman?

Those axles are garbage. Send them back get rid of them etc! Put your old ones in. Or buy new Honda ones!

We just had a thread on this. Take a pic of the axle shaft.

If its solid shaft, it's going to vibrate.

They are definitely solid shafts. :feint:

I am going to go swap them back to oem honda parts now and will report back later with the results. Thank you everyone.

Those do not work for our car as you well know now, this has been an issue for a long time, I hope you can get a refund

I hope the vendor will take note to this issue and care about the quality and performance of the parts they sell.

It's dss they sell nothing but garbage IMHO and don not have good warranty or refunds. I would never buy from them. Again MY OPINION.
