heres the situation. I have a h22 in a 95 honda accord with a manual swap. I finished the swap in may and had no problems with any axles. just put the motor in again on Sunday and i have broken 3 axles in 2 days. the first time it was cause of a ball joint but the last two its just the axle. I have also noticed that i think its when i make a sharp right turn. Yesterday when it happened the second time i noticed that the boot was twisted around itself and the car wouldnt stay started. Then when i pushed the car it broke the axle again out of the tranny piece and the car started fine. Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me.


also posted in the hybrid forum but need to figure this out please

 

is there anyway you didnt bolt in the engine well enough. or maybe your motor mount broke. Its definately an alignment issue. (alignment of the engine, axle, hub not like 4 wheel alignment.)

 

which axle? driver or pass side?

 

its the passenger side axle, and i was thinking that i put in energy suspension strut rod bushings and maybe they werent tight enough cause the wheel looks a little too far back not sure tho

 

are you using accord axles or did you try and put a lude one in?

usually i see the passenger side axle break when the 5 speed conversion has teh engine sitting crooked.

 

i figured it out but it was too late... the axle put a hole in the tranny case

doh! that sucks. so what was the problem anway? axle have too much of an angle on it (not lined up real well)?

 

the strud rod bushing wasnt tightened enough so it through the whole wheel out of alignment.

i just finished taking the tranny apart and a buddy of mine is welding it up for me ill try to get pics
