Bad Brand New CV Axles??

[Sock Monkey]

I got new tires and wanted a balance so the shop said to get new control arms first. When I had them off I decided to replace the CV axles and did. Now, there is a vibration under fairly stiff acceleration between 80 kmh and 120 kmh. You don't really feel it below 80. The harder I accelerate, the more noticeable the vibration it. Now, it's not really bad, but I don't think it should be there at all.

Could I have done something installing them that would throw them out of balance or is it possible to get a "bad" brand new part?

Thanks.

If you are experiencing the vibration at only certain speeds, such as between 80-100kph and not below or above those speeds, it is most likely an out of balance tire. Take it back and have them recheck all tires are balanced properly.

I just had a new set of tires installed and it's not them. I'm thinking bad CV joint. Rpelich, I didn't get the brand name. I knew they were off brand so I just threw the boxes out. You get what you pay for. I expect in the long term if I leave them in they may end up damaging a bearing??

Rpelich, this is a pretty old post but I just determined that the brand name of the replaced axles is Cardone.

Flagrum_3, we just had a new set of tires installed and balanced and the problem is still there. I am headed in to get a new pair of axles under warranty tomorrow. We'll see how those do.
