Dropped Cars and Axles
I was just wondering... I dropped my car significantly a couple of months ago and now im replacing my axles becuase their done (Replacing them with some from Raxles.com) and I was wondering if all of you guys have experienced the same problem. Another thing is, when I dropped my car I never measured the stock height so I don't know if I'm dropped 2 inches or 2 feet. Whats the stock height, I have an EJ Coupe.
heres a pic of it from this summer, but I have raised it some. 13" steelies with caps

ive been dropped for years and never had problems with my axles, except i had to change my cv boot a couple times, because they were cheap ones, like $7..
id prolly bet that your axles are fine and you just blew a cv boot..just replace it for $7, dont need a new axle, unless you have money to blow.

too cold to get under the car, or a garage. Anyway you cut it, im going to be doing some serious power upgrades this summer and some new axles will be nice.

Re: Dropped Cars and Axles (EGCoupe)
clicking noise is from your busted cv boot. my best advise to give you is to replace it with an oem honda boot ASAP or else you will fudge your cv joints. or unless you will be replacing with a remanufactured axle. which is more money.

you can get a cv boot for $7.99 at oreily auto parts (not a universal one either) and if you need a new cv joint, you might as well get a reman. axle.
