Christ dude, create your own fucking thread

all jokes aside, .. he was just asking if i knew anything or could help.

heres the latest news.. i think i have RESOLVED the issue.:worthyp:

The problem (or so i have been told) is that the axles i got sent, yes they were NEW... but they are not OEM.

what's the difference you ask??

OEM axles have the rubber dampers on them, aftermarket (99% of them at least) do NOT have the damper..

i took my car around to 6 shops today.. 5 of them had their heads up their asses and had NO clue.. said it was a loose mount.. i told them to check them.. they did.. all spec'd EXACTLY as they should be. the last and final shop i took it to had PERFECT knowledge of what was going on.

i walked in, he said take me for a ride, i got 2 blocks away and he said pull over.. i did, he looked under the car and said.. you need OEM axles dude... they explained it to me what the diff was, and showed me a set... And now i have some on the way to me

ill let you all know if this solves the issue. Im getting a set of used OEM ones.. i pray they are in OK condition.. if not.. good cores at least LOL.. or i can maybe slide the dampers off and put em on my new axles

You're new to the "whole computer thing"? Dude, it's 200-fucking-8. If you don't know how to operate a computer at this point you're a fucking retard...

And how is this new thread thing so hard for noobs to understand? Go to a forum, look at the list of threads, click the "new thread" button, and then ask your question. Is that so difficult?

Solved!!!!!!

ok finally, i get to my own horn a little!

OK fellow HondaSwap'ers.. after a couple months now, i FINALLY came to a conclusion and resolved the issue of the mysterious vibration.

quick recap.. i was getting vibrations while driving my car. it occured when the tranny was ONLY in gear and i was pressing on the gas slightly or more. it was barely feelable in first but obvious in 2nd-5th. after lots of debate, visiting 3 local shops.. i got NOTHING for answers but mounts, bearings, and someone once said axles but didnt give me a specific.

so i took my car to a local shop ( Speed Factory ) in Tacoma WA, and within me telling him what was going on for about 45 seconds, he said to take him for a quick ride, we did and instantly he told me he wanted to look under the car. he said it was the axles...

Apparently, when i got my swap from Hmotorsonline, they sold me NEW axles. well the NEW axles are not OEM axles..

OEM axles have dampers mounted on them and are a little shorter in length.
Aftermarket ones (shucks, napa, autozone w/e...) DO NOT have dampers.

so i bought a set for less then $100 on ebay, swapped them in and BAM no more vibrations. to verify it, i took it on the freeway. nothing, took it up to 100... nothing, 140... NOTHING. i have had the biggest shit eating grin on my face all day since!

Thanks everyone for the help, much appreciated!
if anyone thinks its wise, ill make a new post in the swap articles about specifically useing OEM axles on swaps to avoid vibrations.

finaly, something i can provide to be useful on here
