Unhappy Drive Axle loose

Hi there, I have 1994 Honda accord Automatic transmission. My problems is my drive axle on the driver side (in here is the right side) (short drixe axle one) had been loose for 4th time. Wonder what can be the causes? the first time was due to rear engine mounting crack but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times dont know what happen. The first one happen sometimes last year while the 2nd and 4th time happened in last two months. Engine mounting seems fine and drive shaft clips also look good. It happen when I made a right sharp u-turn.


Need you guys expert view. Thanks

Are these Honda axles? If not, that may be your problem. I've heard of this problem with aftermarket axles.

What do you mean by "loose"? clicking when turning, slack when starting from a stop, vibration under acceleration, etc.

Agree w/ ENH that aftermarket cv axles are poor quality in general. Too many out-of-box failures.

good luck
