Default i'm stumped, now what?

About two weeks ago I had a clicking driver's side cv axle. Had it replaced and a day or two later started noticing vibrations while accelerating, most notable in third gear before 3500 rpms.

Brought it back and had the cv axle replaced again which then cured the vibrations when accelerating. Now a week later, the same vibrations are back when I accelerate.

Coincidence that its another faulty axle or should I look else where?

well are they putting the RIGHT axle in? have you done anything to the suspension that would alter factory conditions? auto matic or manual?

are they denting the axle nut so it doesn't come unscrewed, like they're suppose to?

You may need to install an axle with a damper like the original Honda axle had. That's what I needed to do when my replacement axle caused vibration.
