ok ive searched and search and im a little exausted. im almost done with my swap aside from 1 dam problem... the drivers side axle does not want to cooperate!!!! i have 93 integra axles and my motor i believe is a 93 jdm b18c1 (the head has 9/3 stamped on the front). my trans. is the original trans that came with the motor, with lsd, and has a"Y80"sticker on it. the car is an 89 crx dx auto, converted to manual. now the axle fits the hub and int. shaft just perfectly but when trying to bolt up the LCA its juuuust short of bolt (about a 1/4") and thats with the dust shield removed from hub. wtf is going on? what type of int. shaft do i have??? and i dont see and rubber seal on the axle whatsoever for me to remove. pleeease somebody give me some good info!!

 

are you trying to line up the lower ball joint to the lca

 

no tried it that way first until found out the ball jont was f'ed so i reaplaced it and bolted the lca to it with axle out, now i have the axle in and im tryng to bolt the lca to the frame.

 

any input???

 

bump! anything would be apreciated guys

 

try to bolt the lca to the frame first then line up the ball joint.you can move the balljoint bolt around for alignment

 

i think thats how i broke the first one....could something be stuck in the hub or int. shaft? the company that sold it to me told me i needed si hubs??? why would i need new hubs when the axle fits the dx hubs just fine . are the si hubs lacking somthing that gives me that extra clearence??

you are using the half shaft that came with your swap aren't you?

You need a half shaft from a DA integra 90-93 or a custom length axle on the driver's side.

 

how could i tell which half shaft i have?!?! theres always the possibility that someone switched it out before i recieved it. is there any type of marking to distinguish any of them?
