so i have a b16 in my crx and i hace the stock int shaft on that but i got it from japan and i have a y1 tranny and 90-93 teg usdm axles and whe i try to use them the drivers side vibrates so what is the most cheapest and easiest way to fix this get new axles or replace my int. shaft with a usdm b16 int. shaft

 

Just got off the phone with the guys at Raxles. I bought new Max Drive axles at NAPA for my B-swapped CRX, and I'm getting vibrations under acceleration. What he told me is that the Integra's width is 1" longer than the CRX's. The Integra axles have about a 1/2" of compliance each direction (expand and contract). So, using the Integra axles (even though they do fit) bottoms out the axle on it's inside travel. In turn, causing vibrations.

I don't know if there is a cheap fix for it, but you could buy a new set of axles made specifically for a B-swapped CRX.

I forgot to answer your other question. The Intermediate Shaft should be the same, USDM or JDM. If the bearing is bad, that could be where your vibrations are coming from...but if it is still good, it is probably coming from your axles being too long.

so what your saying is that i should by new axles or could i just change the int. shaft to a usdm to match the axles and if not where can i find these axles made just for swapped crx's

 

The intermediate shaft is the same, USDM or JDM. And unless the bearing is bad, it is not the problem with your vibrations. The axles themselves are too long. I bought a set of axles for a B-swap into a CRX from http://www.raxles.com this morning. Should be here Friday, then I'll be taking the NAPA Integra axles back.

I talked to Marty. He was a great help on the phone. Couldn't hurt to call and ask some questions. 1-800-257-8192

 

would let me know how those work out for you

 

bump. for i am also interested.

 

ive got a b series rex also with the same hop/vibration only on the passenger side it seems like. ill check that bearing, but id also like to know how those work out from raxles.

 

They'll be here Monday. I guess they couldn't get them out in time.

I'll keep you guys updated.
