Looks like an OEM axle to me!

Here's a picture of my OEM B16 axle and an aftermarket axle... somebody talked me into trying one...

The replacement was obviously different, and went back to AutoZone.

I'd go with CircuitWorx or Raxles - that's what I'm doing next time!

Interesting!

LoL!

That answers a question (in my mind) that I didn't even have to ask...

Thanks!

Thanks for the answers guys. I appreciate it. Now with that said does anyone know where I can get an OEM b series driver side axle for a pretty decent price?

Got my <U>brand new</U> Raxles for $130 a piece. These are not re-man axles, totallly worth it IMO. Go price OE Honda B-series axles and compare to Raxles' price.
