OK... I have a 91 hatch with a b18b and a s1 cable trans... I am using new oem 94 integra axles. I pulled the midshaft off a 1990 integra assuming they were the same. My left wheel does not go on all the way and i'm pretty sure it is because of the midshaft is from an earlier model. I just wanted to know what you guys think? ? ? I have been driving it around and its fine, but im planning on getting custom spinles which lower it another 1.5" on top of the srings 1.5". The left wheel already rubs and i know i will not be able to put the spindles on without fixing the problem with the left wheel.

Should i just buy a 1994++ midshaft?

 

You need a DC midshaft for DC axles and DA Shaft for DA axles

I could have sworn one was male and one was female though..

How did you put a 3rd-gen Integra left axle onto a 2nd-gen Integra intermediate shaft? The G3 intermediate shaft requires a female axle, while the G2 shaft requires a male axle. You aren't using two G3 right axles, are you?

Don't buy a different intermediate shaft, buy the proper axle.

Wheel positioning/alignment curves are controlled by the suspension, not by the axle. Are you sure something isn't bent under there? A wrong axle wouldn't change the position or alignment of the wheel.

Both the axles are male on both ends, the midshaft has male into the trans and female for the axle.

I am using 1994 integra (g3?) axles and a 1990 integra (G2?) mid shaft. The left axle doesn't fit into the wheel (spindle) all the way. but it did fit. OK here is what happened when i installed everything:

I put the midshaft into the trans and then attached the axle and the spindle-everything was good. Then I tried to attatch the midshaft to the block (3 bolts), it was not lined up right. I took everything off and attached it to the block then put the axle on again and the spindle (wheel) didnt fit on all the way..... the big nut that goes in the center of the wheel is not on fully. I dented the nut on so it will stay but the wheel is def. protruding more on the left then the right wheel. What I am thinking is the block has a differant mounting position for the two midshafts. It may only be off by a tiny bit, but it makes a differance.

NOTE: this is a 1994 obd1 b18b imported from Japan

The axles are te same year as the engine. the mid shaft is the same year as the trans... i was thinking of getting the right midshaft?? but im new at this, so tell me what u guys think.

 

BUMP

 

OK well you must have matching alxes and mid shaft, other wise your problem would be apparent since they won't fit together the problem with the axle not going into the hub clompletely is because you may need to remove the dust sheild on...once that is done they will slide all the way in and you'll be fine

You can't be using '94 Integra axles, because the '94 Integra left axle is female ('94+ Integra intermediate shaft is male).

dust shield?? on the spindles im guessing... I'll try that out winter break.

I dont know how i ended up with a obd0 left axle but if you guys say the obd1 axle is male/female, i believe u

 

Stop reffering to them as OBD0 or OBD1...the 90-93 has the same axles but 90-91 is OBD0 and 92-93 is OBD1...OBD = On Board Diagnostics...which is only the ECU programming...sorry it was just bugging me out


Yea look for the dust shields on the inside of the hub where the axles slide in through...if you are stumped give me a PM I work in Malvern which is close to West Chester maybe I can stop out after work one night...Matt
