I just replaced the drivers side axle on my car everything went fine till I started driving it. From second to the beginning of third I feel a vibration. they gave me an axle for abs and I dont have it. I know there is not a differece. Also my axle had a rubber balancer on the shaft of the axle and when they gave me the new one they said it didnt have one cause it didnt need one. Your help is greatly appreciated

 

um get the right axle = NO ABS there is a difference between the axles

 

just the ring gear right or is there a major difference that would cause my car to do this

i am not 100% sure the diff. but I think they are little thicker and if you get something for your car that doesnt go with your car...that equals problems

plus the ring gears might be causing your driver side ti shake like the tire being out of balance...just my .02 but I bet thats your problem

 

Alright man thanks for your help Ill update it if it doesnt fix the problem

what kinda car is it? I know when I replaced my pass. side on my em1 they gave me a abs axle by mistake and it wouldnt even fit

 

its on a 92 cx with an 00 b16 tranny

 

I have axles on my non abs car that have abs gears on them, I didn't notice anything bad. I only got to drive it for 5-10 miles though.

Beyond that I could't tell you.

There is a different amount of teeth between abs and non-abs, and there is a gear ring on the outside thats is for the abs sensor. You are going to really mess things up if you don't get the right one. Good luck.

 

i though all the axles were the same dimensionally. i don't have abs and i've used abs axles w/ no prob.

i'd take it back and get another one. call it a factory defect.

 

its not the dimensions. Its the actual teeth on the axle. The length is the same, considering all else is stock. And abs axles has a gear ring additionally, like I said.

 

thanks for all your help guys Ill change out the axle this week, and ill keep you guys updated

 

i got a quick question make fun of me if u like but im still kinda new at this...for b16 axles would any b series work such as if i get some 99 si axles they would work with any b series swap i do?

 

just to set the record straight on the abs axles...

you can use abs axles interchangeably with non abs axles, the ring gear doesn't effect the overall dimensions and there are no clearance issues. so far as the spline count, all civic axles have the same spline count at the hub and i believe only itr's have different spline counts at the trans.

like i said, i've used abs axles in a non abs car with no incident

well I know that when they accidentally gave me a abs axle for my non abs civic it would not fit. Maybe they gave me the wrong axle completely but it was not going in. I went back got non abs and it went in like butter

x2

i have used both without issues, the only difference is the ring on an abs axle

 

well Ill probably switch the axles thisweekend so Ill post weather or not it fixed the problem. Could it be a posibillity that its my wheel hub/bearing or maybe een a tranny problem. The other side may need changing to so caould that be a factor also?? I didnt have this problem till I changed the axle

 

if you got the axle from a discount autopart store it could have been bad, it has happened to me before

 

did you have the same problems with it??

 

mine just clicked

 

not to rob the this thread but I have the same problem with my LF axle...supposedly i have a itr trans, it says limited slip on the bellhousing, but it has 32mm alxle nuts so if i order an axle for any b series i should be good right? i shouldnt have to order a special itr axle?? bought the car last week need help
