Axel issuse

[87yorker]

So my passenger side is brand new like 3 months old. They are the Cardone ones from Schucks. lifetime warranty, and its vibrating really bad under hard accel. Why would this thing go bad so fast?

[cordes]

How do you know it's the axle?

[87yorker]

Im about 98% sure. I jacked up the car, spun the tire by hand and I can fill the inner CV louse. the Drivers side dosent do it?

[raccoon]

perhaps the engine isn't centered.

reman axles are the pits anywho I just got a bad one out of the box (clicks).

[87yorker]

Maybe? I put all new engine and tranny mounts in it? whats the fasted/easiest way to tell?

[GLHNSLHT2]

cause reman axles are cheap chinsese crap from parts stores.

[87yorker]

lol but this one was NEW I made sure it wasn't reman.

I had THREE lifetime warranty reman axles explode in only one week on a 85 Omni GLHT I used to own. I never even got on it hard! They were replaced with Mopar reman ones and NEVER gave any more troubles for another 100,000 miles when it was sold. The factory remans were for a 89 Horizon with automatic since mine had a later model automatic in it. The remans cost nearly $800 back in the early 90s...almost as much as DSS Stage 2 550 hp rated ones cost now! That car was street driven and with 150 hp shot of NOS ran 11.8s!!!!

I trust remans much more than "new" as the remans re-use the good OE componenets, and are often rebuilt in the US. The NEW ones are more of an issue as they are usually completely Chinese junk.

+2, I mean if your buying a NEW axle for like $60, think about how much it cost to make it, maybe $5?

[87yorker]

Yeah they are cheap. So I lousend up the passenger side engine mount and pryed the engine over some so its in the middle of the slots and its alittle better. whats the right way to center that engine.

Undo the axle nuts, then push in the cv shafts, both sides should be the same.

o ok I will do that. Thanks man
