My friend has 96 honda dx with a b16a. replaced his axle about a year ago at a local shop and now its cluncking when turning right. What about the motor mounts? You think he should get new ones?

inspect the motor mounts to see if they're bad before replacing. and to get the clicking to go away he'll need a new axle...

so would the motor mounts fix it or not?

so eventually what will happen if not fix what else would he notice?

The axle clicking means the cv joint has gone bad. Putting in new motor mounts won't fix a bad axle, a new axle is needed to fix a bad axle. If he doesn't fix it he'll notice that the noise is getting worse, right before an audible crunch/klank/thunk-thunk-thunk/wirrr... after that he'll notice he's not going anywhere.

while new motor mounts won't fix a bad axle, new motor mounts will prevent a new axle from goin bad again.

so definately change out the axle, and check the motor mounts to see if they need to be replaced.

I agree with the diagnosis. I had the same thing happen to my car and the only way to fix it is to replace the whole axle again unless you want more problems in the future. I dont know why the cv joint would have gone bad so fast unless the one you had put in last year was defected or already heavily used.

but from what i dont understand is when im turing right should it be that side that needs replace because of the load or not. and what yr should i order from. Its a b16a1? They order the left axle from a 90-93 acura is that correct? MMounts do i need to take the whole engine out or can i go ghetto style and use a jack.

Jack up the car and look under it. most of the time when a cv boot goes bad you can see a rip in it

what yr to order from?

order for integra 94-01

when im changing the left axle is it the same way on the right side when removing it theres pic on this site on how to take your right axle off so didnt know if there the same way taking it out or or not. Another thing about mmounts how can i replace those without taking my whole engine out can i use the jack i know it sounds ghetto but i need the easiest way possible. Anyone! pic's,sites anything would help. A 94 will fit????????????

96 honda dx with b16 use 94 axles? Anyone?

miahmouse

94-01 teg, 99-00 si, del-sol vtec. Changing axles is the same process for either side.
Changing the mounts... just support the car from underneath w/whatever... jack w/block of wood works best...

96hondab16a

MMounts which side should i start/replace with and where do i lay the blocks for the other two under??? or somewhere else and how many blocks would i need? i change the front mount before i jack up the tranny and fix that but the other 2 ummmm ?? need help with those. Anyone?
