I have a 1990 Integra that needs a new passenger side axle. I plan on buying a used one but I want to make sure it will fit.

Should I look out for anything? Or will a 1993 fit in mines? And does it matter if it came out of a auto or manual car? Mine is a manual tranny.

 

It should fit, only difference from 90-91 and 92-93 was OBD0 to OBD-I. Only thing to look out for is with ABS and with out ABS. Something to look out for is the boot, if worn or torn then it's not too good. Bend the CV and feel for grinds or a gritty feel. and if the splines are messed up.

 

I noticed when searching for an axle is the whole ABS/No-ABS thing. How do I know if I even have ABS? I'm a little confused about that. Mine is a 1990 LS.

 

ABS were only available with the GS and GSR models. the RS and LS did not come with ABS.

 

ok, cool. Does it matter whether the axle I get has ABS, meaning - if I get one that has ABS, will it matter? The seller doesn't specify if it does or doesn't.

 

The ABS axle has a magnetic sensor it in where are the non abs does not. You can use an ABS axle for non ABS but not the other way around.

 

cool man, thanks.

 

ABS axles have a metal grooved ring at the end. You can use an ABS axle on a non ABS teg.. just use a screwdriver and knock the ring off if you're **** about stuff like that... but really, you can just install it as is...
