i'd like to know if anyone here has installed aftermarket axles on their legend? did any problems arise?

after have installed one, my car has been vibrating on D and P, according to research here symptoms of engine mount (/tranny mount).

thanks

I installed a bad reman axle and the symptoms were a very noticable vib in park and when driving.

Argh

but how? how does the axle effect the car in such a way?

I had some not so good ones. lets just say shoty workmanship they don't use quality parts.

If the knuckle is not put together correctly and is too tight the vibrations will be transfered to the engine instead of being absorbed. The axles should "float" between the wheel hub and the differential.
It didn't make sense to me either. I put another reman axle in myself and it cured my vib. What was so strange to me was the vib in park. I noticed it immidiately the first time I started it up after a shop put in an axle I bought.

OMG! that was the same thing w/me. the moment i turned on the ignition after the axle job i noticed the vibration.

thanks so much for your help :bowdown: :bowdown: jetdoc- i was about to buy drop money on the mounts, now i know what the really target.
