Story : Well one day...i was on my way to see a motor. I missed the street i was suppose to go on...so i turned into the next light to make a U-turn. While i was making the U-turn...i'd say it was a good -20 mph turn. I heard something snap (@ first i thought it was my axles) but...then i couldnt turn or steer at all! i called up a bunch of my friends to help me...and we found out that my hub didnt have anymore teeths to fully lock with the "screw". So we put on some washers ghetto style (to @ least drive it home)....and then one day...

Problem : New hub wont go in...because the screw's teeths are all stripped and ****. Nug wont fit into the screw because the screw broke into a half...


Next day...we tried to take out the nut and guess what? It stripped and fucken broke the screw IN HALF! NOW IM EVEN MORE F**KED!


Can anybody identify the peice that im pointing at? Does it belong to a one giant peice or can i just REPLACE that screw peice? **** i dont know where to get it...any suggestions?


My OLD hub...dam that **** is SOOO BALD! Peice of **** **** me off!


Brand new momo hub...that i got from Inlinefour.

Now : My car cant even turn...its parked crooked on my parking space. Please somebody help me indentify that screw peice with the teeths and all. Is it permanetly connected to the "steering column" (i think thats whats it called) or can i get it separately and just replace the screw? ITS SOO STRESSING WITHOUT A CAR...i work 2 jobs and its a bitch to get around. 11+ hours a day PLEASE HELP ME H-T!

you need a new steering column. from the looks of it, your aftermarket steering wheel was loose, and after prolonged use, the threads on both got fuxored. sorry. if i were you, search local junkyard and get a new column. good luck.

Dam you live in NY! I have to get this fix quick! Swapping b16 next tuesday!

Does anybody know if all steering columns are interchangable? Can i use any steering column from all civics ranging from 88-00?

RedDelSol si

well mine is from a 93 hatch so im assuming you have a coupe so mine will fit but im not sure about other years and their compatibility

trooper0641

Mr Boston

Try going to a junkyard.. I'm sure it should be much cheaper

**** gtg work...please help me good bye

nonsense

you're in SoCal. It should be pretty easy to find an EG in a junk yard. And since you're doing a swap I'd imagine that you can turn a couple bolts . . . . it should be pretty straight forward to swap out a column.

And this time get yourself a steering wheel adapter that fits!!

i could have told you that,,,, get on the 5 north get off on penrose ave make a right turn then make a left turn on san fernando rd ( going west =left at SFrd) and you will see tons of honda-acura junk yards... or look in the phone book..

picked up a 40/40 valve, teg booster and Mc for $75 bucks.. can beat that..

call a local junkyard and just buy a column. simple swap, can be done in a few hourse max. oh, and stop bitching... you screwed it up, now you just have to fix it. i told you what to do, and short of us (h-t) flying out there and swapping the column for you, there is nothing more we can do. just get another column, and then if you have any problems installing it, let us know. good luck

I bought the car and it came with a aftermarket momo steering wheel...i guess i got juked by the owner who did a horrible job on the steering wheel.

mattssi

That isn't bad! I've spent that in gaskets and bolts at honda before! Get the column! 364 isn't bad for what all comes with it!

New problem...



The clamp on my starter...how am i suppose to take that out and put on my new column?



The ****!? Is it suppose to be like this? Where are the screws so i can take it off?



Stuck...no gap to pull it out.

Are there suppose to be screws instead of what these clamps are?
