Hey guys wats up....do i need to get realigned after my axle change? i got them changed and i noticed that we had to loose the bottom braket that holds the strut. now no notice there is a vibration while driving over 60 feels like wheels are not balanced

thanks

you should not need an alignment after an axle change.

somthing is wrong, what bracket did you not re use?

post a pic.

who did the work?
is everything tight, and installed properly?

was the dampener on the axle still intact when you installed it?

was it a brand new axle or a used one?

we need more info.

axle was brand new and everything was tight but i am going to get my neighbor to double check all the bolts again to make sure everything is tight and secure

any ideas on what to double check...everything was new

grip

first thing, check the wheel to see if the weight is still on there.

always look for the easiest/stupidest thing first.

who did the work? take it back to them and tell them to make it right.

dont have anyone who wasnt involved in the work look at it, or touch it. it could ruin all your chances of getting it fixed for free by the guy who did the work.

he could say "someone else was messing around in here, its not my problem" or something like that

Could be a bad axle that you put in. Another member just had axles replaced and had vibrations right after about that speed. Put in new axles and it went away. I agree though to go over all bolts and make sure every thing is tight first.

kuzdu

the axles were brand new this wednesday afternoon we will be checking it out and re tighten the bolts

fsttyms1

Could be bad to begin with. Where did you get them.

kuzdu

got them from worldpac they supply a lot of parts and good stuff, all my tie rods and ball joints came from them

its weird they problem i had before was at 40 moh now its over 60 mph i feel this well actually from 50 up

the ride feel choppy

kuzdu

and i might add my tires have a little camber wear as well but i dont think that this is because of that

kuzdu

hey guys do you think its a mount that can be bad? maye the tranny mount because i do notice only above 50 this vibration happens and if i am in fifth and give it some gas i get a hard downshift like the tranny jumps into 4th....thanks

FISHYTL

The hard downshift from 5th to 4th could possibly be bad engine mounts. If you are getting a vibration after the axle change then it could be possible that the axles are binding up since your car is lowered.

kuzdu

would bad mounts be causing the vibration that i described?

FISHYTL

as far as your vibration is concerned, i'm still leaning towarda the axles. Bad mounts would cause a clunk when starting from a stop or possibly when downshifting.

SodaLuvr

Agreed. A lot of cheap axles can cause this problem right out of the box. Not all of the worldpac stuff is good.

today i am going to check all the parts and the mounts and i will let you guys know......happpppy new years guys speak to you soon

kuzdu

heres an update guys...looks like its my tires....they are cambered out and makes alot or road noise....and really choppy...axles are good i need to get the camber kits and new tires soon...
