Hello,

I just had my front axles replaced by a shop less than 2 months ago. On average I drive about 12 miles a day, city streets, no highways. (Basically to/from work)

I noticed that I was "feeling" the same problem so I took it back to the shop. The owner said that he felt what was causing my concern and is trying to figure out what could be causing the axles to need repair.

Now I don't know that much about cars, but unless one drives over large bumps, 4 wheels, or etc. I didn't think axles could be easily damaged.

The shop has had my car for 3 days now and says they are getting another opinion and will need it over the weekend.

Does this sound right to you?

I wouldnt worry about it, it sounds like they are doing the right thing. What noise is it making? Remember these aftermarket axles are remanufactured and its not uncommon for one to fail again. Id wait to see what happens then go from there. Let us know how you make out.
