Default B18c in CRX, need help!

I installed a B18c in my CRX about half yesr for now. Everytime when I turn right the care started to vibrate. The sharper I turn, the hard it vibrate. Seems like something is hitting. I am using 94 Gsr inter, 90-93 teg left and right axle. So I decided to go with the shorter one on my driver side, which is the 86-87 teg axle. It become worst, even when I am driveing straight I would hear sound. Anyone has any problem like me before? ANy help would be helpful.

Did you remove the dust ring from the inside of the hub?

Also try jacking the car into the air and get underneath while someone turns the wheel and see if there are any clearance issues with any part of the car.

I thought that you didn't want to mix and match intermediate shafts and axles? if you use 94+ teg halfshaft then you use 94+ Teg axles. And if you have a 90-93 Teg halfshaft then you use 90-93 Teg axles?

It's been a long time since I've done my swap though so I cant remember.

Good call, I read the post too fast. The rule of thumb I always go by is match the axles to the intermediate shaft.

I did take the dust ring out , and I also tried jack up my Crx and turn both side. It wasn't touching anything. I even put the car in gear when I jack the car up. Wait, I should change my right axle since I am vibrating while I am turning left, should I.

As far as BlueShadow's saying, that's ture, but the 94+ teg axle is way to long for a CRX in my .02. Any other help and opinion would be helpful. Thanks 91 civic and dropped crx.

You should be using 90-93 intermediate shaft and axles and removing dust covers

I'm using a 94+ intermediate shaft with 94+ Non-ABS driver's side axle, along with a 90-93 ABS passenger side axle. No problems here!

You said you were using a 94+ intermediate shaft with 90-93 axles? Theres no way those two would even go together. The intermediate shaft on the 90-93 has a female connector to a male-axle while the 94+ has a male connector to a female-axle. Double check which ones you have. Also, what mounts are you using?
