I know that DA 1990-1993 Acura Integra axles are the ones we are supposed to use for a b-series engine in an EF. But, I personally bought new CV boots for my 91 CRX HF with a b16a mated to a YS1 tranny, and installed the grease and new boots on the axles that came with the swap. I don't think I screwed anything up, and it was done only a few months ago. But, there is an extremely annoying clicking sound from what I believe to be the driver's side axle when I turn sharply. I think that now there may even be a clunking sound when I accelerate spiritedly.
So, what axles have worked out well for any of you EF B-series owners? (DriveShaft Shop, AutoZone, Gator, Raxles, OEM ..... ) I don't want to spend $500 on axles, but I realize that "You get what you pay for" is a reasonable motto.
Thanks in advance.

the bearings in that axle is gone.. that is what that noise is.... i would just replace it the whole assembly if i was you... i just replace my da tegs axles... $60+40 core deposit for each side... but the totally i really spent after everything was done was like $125... this is from autozone..
i heard you can use 90-93 DA teg axles & 87-89 axles for the B-series swap in an EF.... HTH

o i forgot to say its lifetime warranty on those new remanufactured axles that i got from autozone... so if anything happens to those axles as long as i have my car and have the receipt i can get them exchanged....

 

autozone also sells new ones for a little over $100 i heard they are good too

 

ok.
so if i want to buy brand new ones with no core charge from autozone it is approx how much?

and with cores it knocks it down to ???

thanks.

 

check the site out... i believe.. they are ranning at least to $200 withoutcores...
but the remanufactured axles.. are the same thing... has lifetime warranty on it

ok. i checked it out.
i can get remanufactured axles from a honda dealer for $105 each if i turn in my cores.
they are supposed to be very good.
versus $70 + tax each from autozone remanu with core. or $100 each new from autozone...
...hmmmm....

 

I need some new axles too. I'm going to go with the autozone's mainly because of the lifetime warranty and price. They don't seem too hard to change yourself either.

 

>does the one with HONDA have warranty on them?

>i've changed axles a few times now.. all i can say if you dont have the right tools with you it will be a bitch just to replace your axles... impact gun is a must... PB catalyst bolt penetrator highly recommended(its the best one i've used all the time).. a long breaker bar USA made and be wise to spend the extra bucks on it to get the lifetime warranty also (dont get taiwan .... i broke like 3 breaker taiwan made with this job), also if you axle gets stuck in the hub (get a FWD axle remover tool (i got a free loaner tool from autozone... )

 

I bought 89 teg axels and slapped on the inner cv joint from 93 teg. Got it to correct length for B series...

 

The Honda parts won't have a warranty on them.

Pep Boys has a lifetime warranty on CV axles also.

As a matter of fact, I've personally warrantied out a couple of sets of axles to some local kid who keeps blowing his up in his 400hp CRX. He's an idiot!
