    rear axle problem, need help

    so I replaced my rear diff, hub, bearing, half shaft on rear right. I am still feeling a vibration if I accelerate too fast. I have a 94 325is manual, any help would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Hi did you check for a torn guibo joint (AKA donut) ? Also check your center mount propshaft bearing as the mounting point to the underside of the car can snap with age or possible the center mount bearing on the propshat is breaking down. Has the car been 4 wheel aligned since all works was done?

    Hope this helps,

    And don't for get to check centre mount propshaft carrier bearing also as the prop runs through this and if is out of balance or alignment it can make for a unsavoury car to drive.

    Let us know how you get on.
