axles for b16a swap into 91 civic dx

I have a 91 civic dx that I put a JDM b16a with j1 transmission in. Itis from a 90 Integra which I purchased as a front clip. Will the axles work and what other components from the Integra do I need to use?

the integra axles, intermediate shaft will work, you will have to modify/shorten the shiftlinkage

Re: axles for b16a swap into 91 civic dx (wood)

I tried installing the integra axles with the stock civic damper fork in place, but it was binding up and on removal, I found that the rectangular side of the roller bearings were broken. do I need to use the shock/ damper fork from the integra, or did I install the roller bearings backwards? It was hard to get thelower control arm back on, and the axle seemed to be at an awkward angle. any info on how to install is greatly apperciated

What mounts are you using. I have had no problem using the teg axles on my b series swaps with stock civic suspension components.

You need to remove the lower fork to install the axle. Also, did you remove the rings on the end of the Integra axles? If not, you need to do so, or else you will run into binding issues. You may also have to remove the rings on the hubs as well. Like it was asked previously, what mounts are you using?
