Honda and acura vibration issue! 

Great explanation for the reason for the bad vibrations.

Great video. Of all the driveshafts I've replaced for worn inner joints, I never took one apart to actually inspect for wear because they all had a core charge. Next, let's see one for a worn outer joint!

Had a similar issue with my '05 Element but it would only vibrate from a stop and not at road or highway speeds. Bought this car with one remaufactured axle and one aftermarket. Tried a couple of new aftermarket axles to no avail. Ended up solving the problem with two OEM Honda axles from a scrap yard as a matched pair from one car. My theory being that if the car had a matched pair then this was a car that didn't have axle issues. Note: At risk, I also bought an unmatched OEM pair from LKQ and these worked fine too and these are the set on the car now. The pair from the scrap yard are my "backup" pair.

Take my advice and rebuild the factory CV axle. I bought cheap aftermarket ones from ebay and rock auto. 2 new sets and 3 of the 4 were faulty. I had thrown my original ones in the trash. Ended up going to Napa and got a decent set but still have a slight vibration. I have an 09 ridgeline and replaced the rotors, inner and outer tie rods, struts and lower control arms before I realized the new axles were junk.

Just replace my driver side axle because it was clicking like mad only when I was going around a corner and accelerating. The boot was fine so I guess you're right they just kind of wear out over time

Had this issue on my 3rd Gen TL Type-S. Bought a set of axles from Raxles for the TL and it worked great.

On my wife's 2005 Accord they were making a growling noise that got noticeably loud. The local dealership service manager is really good about getting deals on parts, but both OEM axles installed still cost over $1,000 with a discount on the parts. Aftermarket axles are a lot less expensive, and the dealership has tried some at customer's requests, but found that they often had issues so they stopped doing it. That cup and bearing shouldn't cost too much, but Honda charges crazy money for a lot of their replacement parts. A boot strap kit is inexpensive, and good moly grease doesn't cost much, so changing the grease can be done for a very reasonable price. It's not difficult - just a bit messy. If you're doing your own work, consider it as a maintenance item.

Great video. Have 2012 accord replaced both axles with aftermarket but still getting vibration when accelerating from 20 to 25 mph only. Lately starting hearing rattling during vibration.

Very known issue on the TSXs, my 08 has this issue from 20-25mph, most guys on the old forums found racing axles as the solution as all the other aftermarket axles still had harmonic or vibration issues

Seems like you could weld where that one is pitted out and smooth it out pretty good....

Great video man thanks for the info

Hi i have 2005 honda pilot. i used to have aftermarket cv axle had no issues because boot is broken , i went with OEM on both side. i am having vibration issue at steering at 20 mph NOT while accelerating only at cruising at 20 mph .. momemt i accellerate vibration goes away... i dont know if this cv axle . i do see a play on passenger side cv axle. in and out.. not up and down. question. 1. does in and out play is normal, i assume up and down is not normal. 2. can i assume if virbation doesnt come on acceleration then it is not a cv axle issue 3. based on my symptoms do u think if this is cv axle or something else.. 4. Not sure if intermeidate shaft will cause this issue. much appreciated. thanks in advance. rest all like sway bar busing, control arm, struts they are pretty much new.. i am feeling this symptom after replacing OEM cv axle , weared part of it. just want to run it with you that i am not missing anything like drive shaft etc.

Another banger 💪 nice job man

The issue is the inner or inborard shaft cup pits just where those 3 bearings ride... Another issue is the stands in which the bearings sit on, the 3 prongs which hold the bearings can also het worn down too... causing play in the inboard end of the axle...so during acceleration the cv rod isn't centered anymore which causes vibration...One thing that accelerated this wear and tear is the absence of the dynamic dampner...and as you can see, this cv axle in this video doesn't have one.

I just bought today a 2007 Honda Civic Type R and it has a vibration issue when I go full throttle and it gets progressively worse at speeds of 70mph+. I think the severe vibration was present when I tried coasting at around 100mph with the clutch depressed, I'm gonna try tomorrow again to verify. Do you think it's the driveshafts that are the cause even if it the vibration is present when coasting? I can't feel the issue or it's not that bad when speeds are below 60mph.

I have 2 aftermarket axles in my Acura TL type s rn. It shakes so bad when you first get it up to 50+mph but after a couple minutes it goes away but it always shakes above 70. I need new oem axles.

sent an IG message related...! I just bought a 2009 Ridgeline with 163k miles and the vibration happens around 60mph and above... not really a steering wheel shake but more of an intense humming vibration... had the wheels balanced today and it's better BUT has not solved the problem. manager at tireshop mentioned they've replaced rear driveshafts on Pilots (same platform as Ridgeline). acceleration, cruising and slowing down above 60mph is when it happens and low speeds, under 40mph are smooth. thoughts? going to take to an independent (Honda/Acura) shop tomorrow as my dealer that did the pre-purchase inspection can't fit it in tomorrow

Having this issue today on my 2007 Element SC between 50-60mph feels and sounds like the driver side, going to check it for wear…

I’ve owned my integra type R dc5 for about 3 years now, I’ve had the problem ever since. I barely drive it but yeh I feel the vibrations above 130kmh. Mild vibrations, the car is correctly aligned and there is no shaft play. What do you guys think?

Awesome video. I was wondering why does the new accords with 1.5t engines have injectors and head gasket problems.

What if it's like a wobble or a warble like front to back or up to down? I have 95 Civic and front wheel drive. So it's wobbling in that direction the axle goes. Like it's off a bit. I just replaced passenger side axle and seal and now this week replacing driver side axle and seal... I am hoping this is what's causing it. And yes it's on acceleration... 45+ mph. .

Good video

Help a brother out?! I just recently replaced my brake pads and rotor plus new tires and alignment. Car shakes only at 60mph and higher? Before all that with the old rotors and brake pad n tires which were worn didn’t shake at all? My car is 2002 Honda civic si ep3.

06 crv awd, had axles replaced. Driver side boot was torn and car was fine. Had both axles changed out and now i have the vibration. Seems like it's coming from passenger side. Shop changed the axles with another set but same thing 😔

🙌

Any Idea why a second generation TSX V6 would have a drive train vibration when ambient temp drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit? Then goes away once the vehicle is up to operating temperature after about 10 minutes driving.

My 93 accord shake on high 2 gear I feel like it’s the whole front of the car do I have bad cv axles? On higher speeds it feels good though

Can you get knocking when these fail? Accord 08 Seems pretty loose/play at the bearing end that your showing

So I just replaced my passenger axle for the first time. Not too bad as a job to get done. But my car is now vibrating at 20-30mph. The one replaced was OEM and the one I had installed was a “Duralast Gold” brand. Could it be the AE part? What could I do? Cause this vibration is driving me crazy.

I’ve got an 03 element that has a vibration during acceleration. Then loud road noise that comes and goes.

Would it also vibrate and shimmy when not on the throttle? I’m getting the same symptoms

I have this problem on my 2004 TSX, the mechanic I use had the same car come in with the same issue he changed everything under the car, changed the axles three times, after market, OEM, nothing fixed it so I have new axles should I change them or get rid of the car?, engine runny like new it has some other minor issues but nothing serious.

I have this problem with my 2000 hona accord se and it started about a week ago

Hi, My Honda Civic 2011 recently bought from previous owner, jerks while constant accelerator(pedal) around 35 km to 40 km and same happens if constance accelerator around 80km, If I give good padel and increase the speed from like 30km to 50km no jerking at 40km and same at 80km, it only jerks/vibrates when I had to drive on same speed of 40km or 80km or when slow accelerating. I have changed the AXLE, done the wheel alignment and balancing tyres are also new. Still the same issue and I can't find the permanent solution.

Do you have a video on how to remove and replace

Hi. I have a Legend KB2 and I'm dealing with a loud sound when shifting into reverse from neutral. Do you know anything about it? When I go into reverse from neutral it clicks very loudly and jerks the car slightly. When I shift forward it makes a similar sound, just not as loud.

trying to pin point a vibration in the steering wheel on my 9g accord V6 I changed axles, had tires balanced, replaced tie rods, recently had front wheel bearings and lower ball joint replaced but vibration still noticeable

I need some insight too I have a 2011 accord v6 and my mechanic told me it's my torque converter slipping. I get a shake only at 60 -70 mph and smooths out over 70

Question. Did you ever change the rear view puddle light ?

Do you see half shaft bearing fail on 3rd gen CRV’s?

Would this issue cause vibration at slower speed? In the 20 to 30 mph range? I have a 99 CRV with manual trans. Only 75k on the car. No rips in the axle boots. Will get a pretty good vibration on acceleration. Doesn’t do it all the time. Seems more prominent on a little bit of a grade after driving at higher speeds for a while. I have new axle bolts and grease because I wanted to keep the OEM axles. From all the reviews I read most after market axles for this car a hit and miss and Chinese crap. I plan to drive it till the tires come off and don’t want to be tearing it down monthly. Any ideas? Also, even tire wear, motor mounts aren’t broken from what I can see. Thank you!

Do you have a recommendation for an affordable aftermarket set of axles to use?

I have honda vezel 2017 rightside vibration occur some time. Only 60000 km done yet.

I installed brand new axles, still have vibration....??? any advise

Jesus my car was vibrating, my balljoint snapped and broke that axle that was lose. I replaced it for aftermarket and its shaking as bad. Im scared lol

What about the opposite, if the vibrations start when you take fpot off throttle

Hello I have an acura rsx 06 base model and once i start getting up to 50-60 the steering wheel is really shaky? Help me please?

Have a suspension squeak in ‘12 odyssey. Replaced lower control arms but still there, most of the front suspension is only 2 years old (a lot of work in early 2021). Just not the inner tie rods but those seems to be tight. Any suggestions? Squeak started 2 weeks ago, no vibration though, just creaking/squeaking. Also sway bar links are 2 years old too….

Have a similar issue but no steering wheel shake just the body at higher speeds from 50 to 70 mph it shakes the body of the car I replaced the engine mounts but didn’t fully fix the vibration. Any one no where I should look next? It’s a 08 Honda civic ex coupe

I have this weird vibration only some times when accelerating and let go the pedal and gas agian it goes away it so so annoying.

You don’t get vibration in the steering wheel on hard acceleration with worn CV axels. It’s a chassis shudder that you feel, not steering

Do u have to replace the cup that the tripod fit in

I have vibration on speed 35-45 mph in case of switching gears(2-to-3, or 3-to-4) on 1500-2000rpm, replaced both axles assembled. It didn't help 😞 If I push gas pedal above 2000-2100 RPM It doesn't have any vibration on switching gears(2-to-3, or 3-to-4)

Passenger Side inner CV joint.

I’m having this problem now smh

Just got a Crosstour and noticed this vibration under acceleration from 60-70mph

Hi I have a 2006 honda accord with 302,000 miles. Ive been having this car for 8 years. The check engine light is on because of the oxygen sensors. Very common. What I have noticed lately is that when I am driving at a normal speed let's say 40 mph doing doordash, my car starts shaking from the front and then goes away when I let go of the accelerator and doesn't do it again when I accelerate. What could that be?

So I have a 2024 honda hrv brand new 2 weeks old and it started vibrating after 3rd day driving it. Anyone having this issue? Nobody can figure it out.

Where should I buy my. Axle from for 2014 Honda CRV?

Can you
