Does the shaking get worse when you accelerate? Could be due to poor quality of the replacement cv axles. I doubt the burnt smell had anything to do with your issue. They probably just spilled transmission fluid when changing your axles and it was burning off.

 

Thanks for your input. There is a gap in time - the CV axle exchange was around October 2022 and I've been driving it without problems. Could it be a problem with the rear brakes? Could it be because the rear wheel angle I attached is -1.7 degrees?

 

Your rear camber being a bit out of specs may lead to the inner edge of your rear tires wearing faster than the outer edge but it is unlikely to cause the shaking. Neither are rear brakes. Maybe your wheels need rebalancing. And I wouldn’t completely rule out cv axles.

 

Another hypothesis is that your right front toe was way out of specs before the alignment. Your right front tire probably has a particular wear pattern because of that. When they fixed the toe the tire changed it is position and maybe that wear pattern is now causing vibration. An easy check would be to rotate your rear tires to the front and see if that helps. Or if your tires are old just get new tires.

 

Thanks for your professional reply. I will look into it!

 

On the way home from the shop, I noticed a burnt smell coming from the back. I drove home thinking it would be okay, but after 40 miles, the car started to shudder.

The alignment both before and after should not have caused any particularly bad handling/shaking. Rear camber numbers are high, but they are on basically all Hondas with a similar rear suspension design (basically all of them).

I'd get to the bottom of the smell issue - sticking caliper, something stuck in the suspension/axles, something caught on the exhaust - no way to know over the internet.
