I have swapped the axle buckets maybe 20k miles ago or so on my car. My car is lowered and has not changed height since then. I did have vibrations before swapping them but then went entirely away.

Anyways on to my current issue.

The other day I did an on ramp full throttle pull going on to a highway. I noticed some vibrations right away. My car is bumpy riding anyways since I have the suspension pretty firm. I didnt do any more pulls that day after finishing my drive.

The next day I really noticed that the vibrations were pretty bad even somewhat light throttle in the rear.

Did I possibly bust an axle or can the axle buckets get pitted from one pull to the next and shop up like that? I figured they would be gradual like they were before when I swapped them side to side.

I do have a lot of miles on my car and it is supercharged at 12 psi.

Thanks for any input.

missing a wheel weight?

I havent looked but that wouldn't give these symptoms unfortunately.

If you have vibration on accel only, and it completely goes away once you are coasting, you have pitted the buckets AGAIN.

Mine developed instantly at the bear mountaimn run this weekend. I will pull the left axle out and change the bucket since I have extras (every axle bucket swap I've done the left was the one that pitted)

Ah ok cool. Thanks Billman! Yeah it feels the same as when they were pitted last time before swapping them over. I guess since I swapped them once already I should just get some new axles I guess? Mine have 173k+ miles so might as well get new ones I would think.

Didn't think they would start vibrating after one pull which is why I thought I must have busted an axle or something.
It definitely completely goes away once I take my foot off the gas so I know it's not a balancing or tire issue or anything like that.

Bucket kits can be purchased separately from Honda.. I think Alex over at ballade has his own kits also.
