Seriously. I guess that is the price I pay for stubbornness since I want to fix it myself and not let a mechanic do it. I would probably have to take it to a high performance shop since my local mechanic won't work on my car anymore since I put the turbo in. And you know how expensive they can get for just the smallest repairs...

Check your front lower sway bar. If good, it may be your wheel bearings, maybe they need to be replaced or repacked. had a similar problem with mine. Replaced axle, and got bearings replaced. If you don't get the bearings checkd your tire can lock up and send you rolling. NOT GOOD!!

1. Alignment
2. Tires balanced
3. Replace Axle
4. Check sway bar
5. Check wheel bearings
6. Check tire for weird or irregular wearing.

If you still haven't resolved this issue after all that you have done, just go to a mechanic.

I actually just replaced the drivers side axle with a brand new axle and fixed the problem. I guess the remanufactured axle from expressautoparts.com was faulty either due to a bad inboard joint or bent shaft. I know I won't be seeing that money from them since I haven't gotten my core back either. Good thing the BBB is on their ass. :chuckles: I am just glad I got it fixed without having to take it to a mechanic. I guess the third axle is the charm. :rick:

I think your problem with the shaking with your car has come over to my car now , I know yesterday i peeled out of a parking lot smoked the tires, and then this morning on the way to work I notice the steering wheel shaking at 40-50mph and i also known for a fact that i get the clicking noises when i always turn to the left... so i look at my cv boots and i see there completly torn apart ... im just debating to get the remanufactured o.e. drive shafts or high performance drive shafts

I got a brand new axle from ebay. It worked a hell of a lot better than the autoparts.com axle and was cheaper with no core to deal with. Total with shipping was $82.00. You don't need performance driveshafts, so stick with OEM like 2legit2quit said.

so to replace both side of the drive axles with you think is a reasonable cost for parts and labor for a local joe blow mechanic?
