To identify a bad drive axle, listen for unusual noises like clunking or grinding when turning or accelerating, which may indicate a worn or damaged joint. Inspect for visible damage, such as torn rubber boots or leaking grease, which can lead to joint failure. Additionally, if you notice vibrations or a loss of power during acceleration, it could signal a problem with the axle. If you suspect an issue, a professional inspection is recommended for a definitive diagnosis.

Can bad shocks make a car vibrate at high speeds?

If it is a front wheel drive vehicle, it could be your cv axle or bad struts. yes bad shocks could cause vibration ,but i know my car had a bad cv axle in it a while back. the problem was the cv axle was broke in 2. Take it to an auto shop and ask them to test drive it and see if they can tell you what the problem might be. but if its a front wheel drive car, then i would bet money it is the cv axle but if its a rear wheel drive vehicle then ask them to check your universal joints(U-Joints.)
