why are you replacing the axle in the first place?

also, next time slow down and write coherent sentences. i had a hell of a time trying to decipher what the hell you were asking.

Considering we don't even know why you replaced the axle, we can't really answer that question.

Axles break. Boots tear. It happens.

its a 96 civic! and when i shift, and turn car makes a ticking or cracking sound in the front some were. someone told me it was my axcel! but im not sure, i dont know much about cars

jbpnoman

So you haven't replaced the axle yet?

Just replace the thing. You've probably never done it before, and they do wear out on their own over time.

i just bough the car a month ago and just started to make that noise, so i stoped driving it! is it safe to drive it like that, or will somthing els get dammaged if i do? and no i havent replaced it yet

jbpnoman

It isn't disastrous or anything, just replace it as soon as you can. Axles are fairly simple to replace.

Replace it before u break it and get stranded lol

well the axel got replaced, and found out tie rod needs to be replaced, but that knocking or clicking sound is still ther when i shift or take off! you think thats the problem? (tie rod)????

jbpnoman

A knocking noise when you shift and take off sounds more like a completely shot motor mount hitting itself. Visually inspect all of your mounts, especially the torque mounts.

big help about checking mounts, thank you so much. i had a private mechanic inspect the mounts, and turned out to be the rear motor mount that was completly off. i guess when the previouse owner did the engine swap he didnt put it on correctly so the enging was moving around everywere cause it was loose, luckly it didnt break. another question, "if there is an acura engine in the honda should it have diffrent motor mounts"???
