Jump"s?????

[Accord93RR]

I just had my tranny replaced!
they said my axel was shot, and had no boots or grease!
They replaced the axel.
When I turn to the right everyting is fine!
when i turn the left there is a major JUmp!
It feels like the tire is jumping up and down!
car vibrates a ton !
It is lowered, and needs tires, but i am thiking it needs something else as well!
If you know what this sounds like, please let me know!

a strut maybe?
or some type of suspention problem??

You made these two posts while the majority of this forum is at school or work... calm down. Someone will help you.

It's possible that the axles were not installed properly. There is a ring that has to snap into place, otherwise, the axle remains loose. It's possible to put everything back together with it like this. It's a common problem when the installation is done by someone that isn't aware of how it works.

Also check your ball joints, tie rod ends, and alignment. If you're lowered, you should get a camber kit to correct the negative camber, and replace those worn tires with good ones. If you're lowered on stock struts, you need to replace them. NOW.

bring it back to who you brought it to.

could be just a (tit) in the out side of your tire and you feel it when u turn .. but idk its hard for me to guess with out seeing the car lol

OK! so thanks for the heads up!
I took the car back to the tranny shop!
they said they dont think it was there fault!
I told them that its a common mistake to someone who hasn't worked on hondas!
They put it on the lift,
cracked the shit out of my front lip!
and i hear some loud banging< which sounds like them trying to get it to snap into place>
They told me they never unhooked the driverside axel???
does that sound true??
also he brang me outside to show me under the car,
and showes me the bottom of my strut, one side is bulging out, looks like it has bottomed out, and is trying to come out the bottom.
I also notice tranny fluid leaking??
i rub it with my finger right in front of him,
and hes says, oh that just needs to be tighted.
He puts a wrench on it, i get home,
and its still leaking fluid?
WTF
My tranny is leaking< my front lip is cracked> and my car is still jumping!

well it is not doing it as bad now!
But definatly still messed up!
Oh, and
They ddint fill any power stearing fluid back in it, so good thing i caught that! I filled it up with honda PSF

I took it in because 2nd gear went out on my tranny!
I baught a perfectly good tranny from a guy less than 2 miles from my house!
all i wanted was it installed!!!!!
and now ive payed money, and feel like my car is in worse shape!!!!!!
What do i do now????
Im frustrated as hell!

Holy crap that's hard to read.


They should never have had to drain the ps fluid to change an axle. If you're leaking fluid, then that's unrelated. If they DID drain it, find out why.

If you have a blown strut, that will DEFINITELY cause jumping. Replace it ASAP, before you crash. That's not something to take lightly.

If they cracked your lip, I would demand that they pay to replace it.

Update

Problem fixed! and lesson was learned!


I took my car to my "HOnda Specialist" at Gt IMports!
Tunrs out< the axel that was put in, was too big, By 3 1/4"!!!!
NIce!
I ended up spending almost 300 to get it fixed right!
BUt its fixed right!
So I have learned,
"Never take your car to get work done by someone who doesnt know Hondas!"
Thanks for all the soulustions that were posted!
Im still gonna get 2 new tires on the front,
and the strut i will replace as soon as i can afford!
I replaced the passanger side already!
Thanks again ya'll!!!!

Did you supply the oversized axle? Is this the one that you just had put in by the other shop? Or was it one that was on the car previously?

If the first shop is responsible... take the bill from the new repair back to the first shop. Have them reimburse you for both the cost of the new repair, AND what you paid them... or threaten to sue (and seriously consider doing so). They not only charged you for a TOTALLY imroper repair, but they also put you at serious risk by installing incorrect parts! Even upon a second inspection, they said it was fine!

They put you at risk, potentially damaged your car, and made you PAY for that "service". They should be put out of business if that's what they do. We don't need dangerously "fixed" cars on the road.
