I was wondering since i have got a prelude s with an f22a motor and my axles have started to make the infamous ticking noise!

what i wanted to ask you is since it is an f22.. do the 90-93 accord axles and axle parts fit as a replacement? then i mean the u-joint which is my causes the ticking

hoping for quick and good answers

thank you

 

What year is the car?

Also, front wheel drive cars do not have U-joints. They have Constant Velocity joints.

Two very different things.

 

well id buy the prelude ones because usually they just reuse the cars axles or do you know if they used the f22? either way pretty sure there the same thing. best thing to do is bring axle with you so the guy can measure it out

 

it's a 96 prelude s with an f22

and yes of course it's constant velocity, didn't the english term tried a dictionary and failed as it seems..

 

yes that is of course the best thing to do.. but since i'm here in iceland and there are only 3 4 gen's left here and on top of that it's an american model so it's even harder to find parts. or usually it's harder to get the guys to search for the right thing in their handbooks.

since the prelude s with the f22 isnt listed in some of their books or something!

 

It was probably swapped. Get prelude axles.

 

It's NOT a swap. He has the USDM 1996 Prelude S model, which came with a f22a. Pretty much the same as 5ga's. His question is valid - Do they share the same axles? I don't think they are. Aftermarket part #'s are not matching, but Honda may have common part #'s for them.

 

no sir. it is not swapped.

the prelude s comes with the f22 stock. that i know for sure.

the only thing i was wandering about is if the axles as a whole fitted since it is exactly the same motor, f22a as in the 90-93 accord.

since i can get axles from an accord for a few bucks ..

 

nah like i said go with ur years and model axles.. maybe try measuring the accord axles see if they measure to yours?
