That should be covered under warranty. Go get your money back and by some axles straight from Honda.

If the Boot was still there where did the Greese Come from? Was the Boot Torn maybe one of the Metal clips that seals the end came off.

are you sure its grease and not tranny fluid? i have two friends that have had their napa axles slip out of their tranny while driving. the clips on the ends of the axles that go into the tranny weren't big enough to do anything. of course, both trannies were emptied of their fluid when the axles came out

Napa axles ftw. My friend with his SOHC turbo EJ coupe broke his axles at the track while running on STREET TIRES!

They are not made by napa, they are a-1 cardone who make almost all reman axles. I would just brake down and get new axles.

No, they are from CCT, the same company that AutoZone sells for reman. axles.

I myself went through 4 sets (1 from AutoZone, 3 from NAPA) before finally getting a pair that did not make nasty vibration during acceleration, and were the correct length.

All remaned axles suck. Sometimes you have to go through a few sets before you find a good set. Just take em back and get another set.

I'm pretty sure auto and manual Integras use the same axles.

the only difference is the presence of the toothed ring on the outer joint for the ABS sensor. You can use an ABS axle on a non-ABS car (but not vice-versa of course).

Sometimes you get lucky. I did have to go through 3 sets of reman's before I got a good set, but the good set has been on my car over 2 years now and is doing fine.

i am glad/surprised to someone actually got a set that was good! the same thing happened to me with a brake mc. i went through 2 remans before i got one that didnt leak after a week.

i just sucks that you have to go through the rigmarole of changing axles all the time until you get lucky with one that actually works. that **** sucks.

it should be the other way around. i just dont have the time to devote to something like that anymore. i like to get it done right the first time.

Exactly. I gave up on the stock bindings. Now when I buy them (from autozone; lifetime warrany even on a 250ft/trq build) I just cut off the bindings that they come with and buy some beefer ones; its like $12.00 after tax.
Even some of the higher staged axels do this. Its a common problem.
