So I Got The Axles That Came With My B16A1 SiR1 VTEC and we were putting them on, but it seems that when we put em on. They end up pushing against the backside of the wheel. like rubbin against some metal, n it prevents the wheel from spinning. they're like 1 1/2 inches longer then my stock Si axles. Are they just not the right axles for my 89? or Is there somethin else to it? This ******* whole swap is a nightmare, but Im not giving up. this is MY first car, like MY name on the pink slip, n i pay everything, so I dont wanna give up on my first real car. This is my baby. plz help! lol thnx guys, you're all awesome

 

did you remove the dust shields from inside your hubs?

yeah don't give up.

 

are they all the way in the tranny... there should be a clip that goes oin the end that goes in the tranny and there should be like a click ... is this happening? if not its not in all the way thats why is rubbing... or you have the wrong axles

 

lol no of course not. lol, be honest. i dont know all that much. I drive cars, lol. now that its my own car, this is my car where I am trying to learn everything. lol, My buddy is workin with me on this swap, cuz he knows alot n does his own swaps in like a day. lol, but do you know theyd more then likely fit? I'll definately try that one when we go do the swap. thnx

 

yeah they fit no problem,this swaps been done a million times with the same sir1 axles..

 

Settle down man, do like what was said above and let us know if that helped.

 

Yah thats what i figurd. lol, why would they send me the wrong axles? lol alright thanks alot people. Take care everbody. Im sure i'll be talkn to some of you guys later on in the future

 

Wouldnt you be able to take your old axles to automotive store and just get the right length from them?? like get a smaller axle in length
