drive axle prob

[stealth3ltt]

One day i set out to take my car for a spin, and soon as i got off of the snow covered roads i notice that my car was shaking terribly(it wasn't from a build up of snow either)... The shaking changed as my speed changed so i immediatly thought that it was my transfer case(felt like all 4 wheels were gonna fall off)... I took it to a rent a bay garage and lifted it... I checked the transfer case lube and drained it, there was enough fluid so i figured i'd change it because its been 2 years since i did it last(maybe the oil lost its viscosity).. As the car was in the air i noticed that my front drivers side axle was not all of the way in to the extension shaft(bearing seal was off as well)... I tried to push it back in, but couldn't, i used a pry bar to push it back in... now when i drove the car it drove fine for about 10 blocks and then the shaking came back.. my problem is I don't think that 1 axle could give off such a shake that goes through the whole car... I know that when cv joints r gone the have a clicking sound when turning, but i have no clicking sound.. Has any one had problems with drive axles that pull out by themselves or go bad with out having any sounds.

I could see vivration from wheel feel like it is shaking the whole car if it is serious enough!

Is it possible you struch something underneath that may have hit youe rear drive shaft, id that is off kilter it will shake the shit outta ya!

I got a bad CV axle in my MX-3 now and There is a bad clicking sound coming from it , the sound is only there when I turn though, it is not there driving strtaight, I got a new one sittin there to go in it cost me $100 I wish parts fer the 3000 were so cheap and easy to get locally!!!!

trust me the cv joint ticking gets pretty loud quickly! You can really feel it after a while...

The locking ring on the end of the axel might be missing, there fore not locking the axel in place.
