I brought my car into to have the drivers side cv axle replaced because the boots were ripped and leaking everywhere. I bought a brand new axle from napa only because i got a good deal from a friend who works there. I have only put on about 200 miles after i got it done. I am now experiencing a vibration while accelerating from about 15 to 25mph other than that i feel no vibration. Any ideas on what the possible problem is? The car is a 95 Vtec

No Idea but I experienced vibration as well, eventually the boot ripped right open on passenger axle. I replaced it and its been golden since. (This is before my california west coast road trip)

Did you clean up all the grease from inside the tire well etc? There was no dirt between the tire and wheel hub that would have it go on misaligned?

Take off the tire, do some cleaning put her back on and see if this helps.

Tire pressure?

Have you done all the basics ?

Was the axle you bought from Napa brand new or remanufactured? The reason I ask this is because I had the same problem when I replaced my axle. It turns out the axle I bought from the auto parts store was slightly bend which caused it to do this. When a axle is remanufactured they basically use the same shaft and put new parts on it. From what I know the only truly place to get brand new axles is at the dealer, but I could be wrong. The easiest way to find out if you got a remanufactured one or not is if you had to pay some kind of core deposit, or if you had to trade in your old one. This might be your problem.

He didnt have to pay core on it. Becasue the axel was supposed to be brand new. It is possible that it is bent, and i guess that could be one option.
