my axle popped out outta no where today, no crazy driving jus caual.. any ideas why axle would pop out?

 

Time for a new one?

Have you ever replaced it? Maybe the circlip at the spline gave out?

 

yeah i think i need a new one. but why did it jus pop out like that. thats dangerous if every honda did that.

 

ok wait.. what part fell out? the input spline to the tranny? or the hub of the wheel?

do you have a swap? is your car lowered?

if you have a swap, are you using 92+ integra axles?

and it could be as simple as the retaining ring inside the diff is worn out, or missing.

 

Its happened to 2 of my freinds - both cauter pins fell out. check it.

Axles don't have cotter pins in them...do you mean the retaining ring clip that holds the axle in the tranny? The only cotter pins that could effect the axle are the ones that retain the castle/crenelated nut on the ball joints.

 

i know the ball joint on my car has some play in it... when my axle popped out on my 95 gti vr6 it was a broken ball joint that caused it... but since the honda has 2 i'm not so sure...and i'm kinda new to honda repairs

yes.. the axle has expanding retaining rings. if its not pressent, the axle can walk out of the differencial. thats what you need to check.

 

retaining rings - I appologize .. u knew what i meant.

 

how much is your car lowered? if it is replace the axal if it does it again chances are it is to low.
