Axle bindage, Fellow H22ers Help
Ok, ok, I know. This topic has been covered more than once, but I'm too lazy to search. Here's my issue. Swapping my H22 into a new car, the old car didn't survive a battle with a tree, and things aren't going smooth. Both axles broke during the accident, so I replaced them with remans from the parts store. Passengers side, cool, drivers side, well not so cool. I originally thought it was the wheel bearing. Replaced to no avail. When I get to about 15 mph and up, the front of the car feels like it's going to fall apart. I've checked and re-checked that everything is tight, still a vibration. The car is lowered via Tein Type Flex damper coilovers. (My last car was lowered with Drag Lauch springs with no issues, so I don't want to hear that H22 Civic's can't be lowered.) Here are the possibilities. 1. The car is so far out of alignment it isn't funny. 2. Suspension is too low, but I've set the ride hight about where my old car was. 3. Axle is wrong. 4. I'm retarded. Which Honda axle is the shortest? Maybe that might solve my problem.

What part store?
The shortest axle that will work will be a 89 integra axle. The suspension is really not a factor (unless it is out of spen, bushings, ball joints etc). It sounds like the axle is binding.

AutoZone is the name, limetime warranty is the game. Do you know how much shorter it is? I think I might try to go that direction.

Re: Axle bindage, Fellow H22ers Help (skunked)
I'm going to try one on the drivers side. Passengers side isn't doing anything, so if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Thanks for the advice guys.
