If the car is dropped it could be your cv axles. Or they could be just worn already.

Had the same problem when I got my car, replaced the axles, the noise went away.

Try from there and work your way on struts and springs/coilovers if they're bad/worn, also check your inner and outer tie rod ends.

It'll eventually go away as you add onto the car. Gotta support the engine by keeping up to date with your suspension, steering and brakes, and bushings, balljoints, camber kits and etc. Just giving you ideas is all

Thats only if you want the car to run as it should.

Did you remove the dust covers before you installed your new integra axels? if not...i bet that's the problem...

Stock crx axles are slightly shorter which allowed for dust covers to be placed...pop these babies off and make sure your axle nuts are screwed tight and you're ready to go!
