Would a bad axle cause....

[1lov3mycb7]

Like the whole car to shake it was not doing this before I installed it to check one side when I had installed the other side it started to shake the car when I put t in gear I was wondering could a bad axle cause this?

IF the car is not moving, no. Usually shaking from an axle is much more noticeable under higher RPMs.

Then what do you think it could be?

if you're stationary, then its your motor mounts. But I don't quite understand what you're saying

When you're in motion it could also be wheel balance.

Ok this is what happened my axle came apart I bought a new boot for it put it on and it's almost like when I installed it seemed to be strechin like it was short an with the car in the air still I put the car In first and it's like at first it did not wanna move so I loosened the axle nut and then it started to move but shook the car

Are you saying that the axle itself came apart or the boot? If the axle itself came apart I would not recommend putting it back together yourself. I would buy a new or refurbished one. And lastly I would definitely not loosen the axle nut they are supposed to be tightened down to 180 foot pounds I believe. Loosening it would be dangerous to drive on.

The axle came apart and I did notdrive on it it was on jacks in the air

It's the axle if it shakes under acceleration but stops when you let off the gas or release the clutch. If it shakes while coasting, could be a number of things, tie rods, ball joints, tires out of balance. If your axle actually separated, for gods sake man get a new one

Put some punctuation or something in there and maybe we can understand what you are trying to say.

Front axle nut (spindle nut) should be tightened down to 181 lb ft according to the honda service manual. Yeah, definitely make sure that one is tight. I think that if that nut is loose, it could cause a shake. Most definitely.

Thanks for the input guys

A bad inner cv joint will cause really bad vibrations on the highway.

If your car is in the air and your suspension is hanging all the way down the axle angle is increased and could be causing the problem.
