differences after cv axle replacement

SilverSentra99 · Oct 12th, 2005, 03:25 PM

I just got my cv axles changed both at the same time, my boots were cut so i got whole new axles for 45 a piece. anyway there on now and i hear and feal a vibration at a certain speed its like when i hit fifty. and its only when i go int Overdrive that i feal it . did my mechanic do anything wrong. i watched them go in and it only took one tap with a hammer to put them back in it was like a 15 minuite job. everything works great it turns good and accelerates, better now but ther is that vibration or sound i hear and feel that has me worried. what do you all think

well, could also be a simple wheel balance issue. are they aftermarket axles??

Did you have an alignment done afterwards?

no alignment done yet im getting my falken zeix 512s today and will get one done. and yes they are aftermarket. but i did notice that in the FSM manual and i watched them put them in There were no Dynamic Dampers on them . The dynamic damper is a circular peice. I t looks like its rubber. but it does something important . because the FSM said to put new ones on when you replace the axles. so im going to see if i can locate some. It goes in the middle of the shaft. and i guess that its something i need to have on the new ones. thanks for the ideas and ill update you all tonight after i get the tires.
And if anyone knows what the heck a dynamic damper does . id love to know.
