Default Need input on cv shafts "out of alignment" after 92 civic hatch 95 GSR Swap

I have a 92 Civic Si Hatch with a GSR swap. The cv shafts do not line up coming out of the tranny and half shaft when connecting to the hubs. I have been told that is this is a bad condition that can lead to premature cv failure. Do any of you have this problem.

If you look underneath your car straight up. Notice if the shafts do not go straight to the hub... Thank you for the input.

Another thing I was told is that the cv's or halfshaft might not be the proper length. Any input??

Thanks.

You should have no problems using the GSR axles/int. shaft with a 92 hatch. This is the proper combo to use and there really is no better setup. If you are using aftermarket rebuilt axles then that might be your problem, or you've excessively lowered the car, your tie rods, ball joints and/or wheel bearing are shot, many possibilities.....

Thank you very much for your input. good to know I have the right stuff for sure. The car is quite low and I have done some mods to optimize the performance for autox and track days. Thank you again.

I do wonder if I am the only one who has this problem. Or maybe I am just the small few who is aware that there is a problem?
