So I'm trying to order a new "B" series driverside axel, I got to Majestic Honda and there dosen't seem to be part called "axel" listed. Would it be the "CV Halfshaft"? I also tried Autozone and ran into the same problem. I am not a full fledged gear head as you can obviously see, but what should I be looking for to order a "B" series axel.

Sorry my brain just isn't workin right now..

i believe its axle

Sometimes it's called a driveshaft. If I remember right from my friends car, the b-series driver sides is the one with a half-shaft from the tranny, and then the axle from the halfshft to the hub

helpful thanks

Just go to your local autoparts store like Napa and say you need driveaxle/driveshaft for whatever car it is that you need. I believe they run around $120 without core and $70 with core.

Grimm

Thanks Hammett It's just I want to get this ordered and shipped since actual time to go to a store is kinda limited until the weekend which I need to install it.

At autozone/napa/any parts store it a piece of crap. The only good thing is they are cheap and sometimes have a lifetime warranty (Napa).

Grimm

cheap is the goal, Lifetime warranty is best... Thanks again...

I've had autozone axles the entire time after my swap never had a problem with them but once when I ripped the boot doing a tranny swap.....and yes I do have life time warranties....

i have NEVER had any problems using re-man axles on any of the dozens of vehicles i've put them in.

Grimm

cool thanks again, Is there a preference in brands for re-man or non-honda axles?

Hey Kit, an OEM axle from honda is going to be like $300. We had to order another one for Luke because the first one we got from Autozone took a crap on us after 2 days. That's not usual for them to do that. Anyway, I believe it was like $70 with a core (your old axle). Let me know if you need help installing it.

Mr Hammond

I know a handfull of people running Autozone remans with out problems with track abuse.

I knew this was coming...

I am not trying to start an argument or anything. But I do have this to say from personal experience...

You will replace the reman's more often than new OEM axles. So lets say you spend 300 for an axle that lasts 50-60,000 miles versus 150 for an axle that will maybe last 30,000. There is no cost savings in the long run...especially if you are paying someone to install.

Granted...I am speaking from relatively limited experience but thats what happened. I put a set of Napa axles in and ~20000 miles later used the lifetime warranty.

that's not true based on my experiences. on at least 5 of the daily driver cars i've done them on, the autozone/napa remans lasted over 80k miles, which was more than the OEM axles did.

Guess I just got a bad pair...that happens.

I suppose if youve had 5 sets last over 80K then its a worthy gamble.
