Default GSR vs ITR axle length

I'll edit my silly post


Hi!

According to the oem part number, GSR and ITR does not use the same axles

My question is, why Driveshaft shops list them as same? I have a 98 GSR with 5 lugs conversion using DSS 2.9 and it always clunks from the right side. Tried two right DSS and it's the same problem... Any one dealt with that kind of problem before?

Thanks a lot for your time!

No. They're not the same. The driver's side axle has one female end and one male end. The female end fits into the intermediate shaft. The male end splines into the hub. The passenger axle has 2 male ends. One goes into the trans, one goes into the hub.

lol omg! how could I have forgot that! lol wow now I feel lame I changed then couple times so I should have known ok so there's an error on the oem parts website, but that does not fix my problem. I would like to make sure whether or not the ITR passenger and GSR passenger side is the same length. And what could cause failure from that side only. Car setup Quaife LSD on stock GSR trans and 420whp. But the car is granny driven since axle problem...

I thought ITR had equal length axles to mitigate torque steer?

Only real OEM difference is that the ITR driveshafts don't have that rubber damper in the middle of the shaft. GSR, LS, B16 etc all have the rubber damper. Everything else seems the same. Other than that they are totally interchangeable.

For whatever reason, the 1997 Type R has different inboard boots and different outboard joints than other Integras of that year. Don't know why...

Ya know I always wondered what was up with those rubber things on the axles lol. I had to run out and look under my car then thought to myself, wait why do I not have those rubber things?

Ok thanks for time! the DSS support told me that if I still have problem with the ''repaired'' axles they would repair them again...
