What kind of spindles needed for LS swap ?
Just done with an LS swapped, it runs good now with LS axles in but sometimes I can hear the strange sound when it spinning ( actually on the passenger side ).
Being told by some people that I have to replace the spindles and hubs to make it good, is it true ? Can anyone verify ?
Thanks,
D

What is the sound?
You don't need different knuckles or hubs.
All 88~91 Civic/CRX knuckles work perfect with the exception that you need to remove the dust ring so the asle doesn't bind.
What sort of sound are you hearing?
Do you know how to check your wheel bearings?

No sense in pointing out the irrelevant.
OP says he has it running and it's making noise.
They aren't saying "Why won't my axle fit into my hub?"

how are the wheel bearings? you stated you hear the noise when its spinning. as 4drEF said the knuckles from 88-91 work with the exception of the STD and HF. i would check the wheel bearing and make sure everything is tight and installed correctly

I actually didn't say the exception.... and got corrected.
CN_BB - another thought; is your car lowered and what mount kit did you use?
If you are low then it is possible that new angle of your axles is causing issues.
Some mount kits sit the engine well enough that it's typically not a problem, however there are plenty of kits that don't sit the motor well and you run into this type of problem.

op did you remove the dust caps on the knuckles when you installed your axles? if not the axles will bind up and rub on them.
