Question:

can a bad axle make u have flat tires?

well i have a 92 honda accord and it hasn‘t been maintenance on in 6 years well with the axles or suspension and stuffthey seem to always seem to leak out air.we have brand new tires on it so i know its not thatit just happens

Answer:

Bad axle ? Nope. Bad wheel ? Worth looking into. Take the wheel with tire off the car and douse it with soapy water.The leak should bubble. If it's a leak in the metal wheel, probably easiest just to junkyard a 'new' wheel.
no, you should take it in, (or do it your self) but i recommend rotating your tires, and re-balancing them if you have the old tires, you should see that only one side of the tread is getting warn down or something like that, hope that helped -Xchon
Nothing to do with the axle, it's an issue with either the tires or the wheels they are on. If you're sure the tires are okay quite possibly they are leaking around the beads or the wheels are porous. You need to take the wheels off and dunk them on water (soapy, preferably) to see where the bubbles are coming on. It might be simpler to take the car to a garage or tire place and have them do it for you.
