Icon2 H22 & EG Axle Hop Problems

Hello,

First post, mainly because I don't even own a Honda but my girlfriend does (EG, 1993) and she has done swap after swap into it.

She's done an H22 Swap out of a Prelude and done everything right.

Parts:

1) Ebay H22 Swap Mounts
2) GXP Axles

Here's the problem, the car runs (and idles just fine, etc) but whenever it comes to the drive train we have a pretty big issue.

Think about it like this, the IM Shaft connecting to the hub causes it to "hop"

Like this: 0 instead of * (imagine that being the way the axle is turning, an oval instead of an *

Basically instead of the axle rotating in place like it should, it tends to swing around like it's getting bound up.

I've raised the LCA up and it fixes the issue for the most part but I would assume the car being lowered wouldn't mess with the axles THAT much but being as I work on other cars and haven't been into the swaps I could be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated, tired of "trying" things.

EDIT: I noticed that the Axles have the tri-pod CV system instead of a normal one and I think this has something to do with it.

Anyone? Had the axles looked at today, and they are perfectly fine.

I'm having a feeling this is due to the engine height compared to the spindles.

Not really sure if i am understanding your problem, but when you drive do you get a bad vibration from your front end, if so does it get worse as you increase speed. If this is happening try raising the front end, if it helps in any way than you need new axles. I had this issue and called the guys and driveshaftshop.com and the said one of my axles was too short, ordered some from them now everything is smooth. Give those guys a call they can help you out.

That's exactly what is happening but she forgot to mention me that's she's having to shove the axle in to get it into the hub (it's too long by 1/2 Inch).

She tried to Junkyard Hunt for a 91-93 Teggy Shaft but it's a female to female connection, supposedly the first half is from a prelude...so dunno, I'm going to end up buying a new axles.

I actually talked to Hassport, GREAT GUYS!
