I notice that when I hit about 70MPH in my civic the front end seems to shake, the funny thing is it only does it when I give it about 3/4 throttle or more. But anytime before 65-70mph it doesn't shake what so ever? I thought that maybe it needed tire balancing and a front end alignment, but it still shook. So I'm thinking now it could be the shocks that are the problem. Right now I have Shitty Dropzone springs on my car(I bought the car with them, lol). Does anyone have any suggestions?!

 

I have slightly cut springs with new shocks and I dont have that problem. I have a H22 in a 95 hatch. Im putting Tokico Illuminas with 1.5 lowering springs, I think that will work out pretty decently.

 

Hmmm.... I'm thinking about getting the new coilovers from apexi (N1 Damper ExV (Expert Type V). they're pretty nice looking. I just hope that it isn't an axle problem. I don't want to end up buying a new coilover kit and still have the same problem!?

 

I had pain in the *** axles too! I bought swap ones only to have to use an old swap axle that came with the motor and one of the new ones rebuilt with an 93 Integra outer shaft. I like Apex'i products, but I dont have very much $ to spend on springs...

 

that hsaking sounds more like symptoms of inner cv joint waear to me.

 

Hey V4lu3s,

you where close, I figured out the problem. I didn't pay attention when I took the motor out, but it was the outer cv joint on the left side! I had to use a hammer to break it loose, and after that it took alot of strength to move the joint around. Since I need a new axle (they are Hasport by the way), Where can I buy just one Axle. The Hasport site only sells them in pairs? I don't think I'm going to try to rebuilt it, I think it will just be a waste of money.

thanks for saving me some work later on v4lu3s.

 

try and call hasport and see what they say. if not them then try calling Driveshaft shop as well...
glad to hear you got it figured out without too much trouble.

 

or try Gator Racing,

 

Are we still talking about suspension?
