so now what am I supposed to do - go back to the mechanic and tell him to put on an OEM axle or some specific named aftermarket one at his cost?? Tell him to fix it even though it can't be fixed because he just gave me a cheap part?

Yep. He is on the hook if it is vibrating. The repair work is not acceptable. You should be willing to pay the difference for the OEM axle or whatever the acceptable aftermarket axle is, but you need to know what the cost actually is. He needs to eat the labor, but should be able to get something back from his supplier for a defective axle.
Just don't get me going on Subarus, though....
