Can Axles only cause the vibration at highway speed?

I replaced my axles with aftermarket axles two weeks ago and the vibration came right after I installed it. I am just wondering can axles only cause the vibration at highway speed? Or, it can also cause the vibration at any speed?

I feel the vibration especially when I hit the gas pedal and try to accelerate, my car is shaking. I can't feel anything if the speed is under 60mph. Can anyone told me the reason and help me out? It is so annoying. :(

meanwhile, I did three times tire-balance already. The third time was done by discount tire. I was told the rear driver side rim is slight bent. BUT the thing is, I did't have any vibration at any speed before I installed the aftermarket axles. ( The rest parts are the same) That is why I think it is just about the axles, but anyone can second it? Thanks alot. I really appreciate.

Yes, bad axles from the aftermarket can and will do this. Spend the extra money and get the correct new axles from the dealer.

Some of them do not meet oem standards. Thats why they are cheaper than new ones from the dealer.

The faster you go, the axle is not balanced properly and the vibrations start.

Yes. Sounds reasonable. Looks like I gotta change the axles by myself with Raxle. Com. The only better axles that I can afford. OEM is too ridiculously expensive. Its like 1XXX.

All the bad axles I have seen caused a vibration especially when stepping on the gas usually 45 mph and up.
