I got an 89 civic SI hatch that I recently dropped a b16 in n for some reason I can't seem to find tha right axle that fits tha driver side I am using tha female half shaft with a da axle n waz told that should fit but I ve tried everything I can to try n get it to fit but for some reason it just seems like its still just a lil too long n it's tha last thing I need can someone please help me out n tell me what exactly I need to make this work cuz its killen me bein stuck on this stupid axle any help would be greatly appreciated

 

As long as there is still flex in the boot you should be fine. I have an 88 with the JDM B16A and it fit just fine.

 

90-91 integra axle. A lot of people say take the metal dust ring off the outside of the axle. Never had a problem with leaving mine on. GL

 

The dust ring that needs to be removed isn't on the axle. It's on the hub facing towards the axle. It needs to be removed before stabbing the axle into the hub otherwise you'll fry your wheel bearings. It's easy to pop out with a screwdriver.

 

Now does that have to be done to both sides cuz only tha driver side seems to be given me trouble tha pass. Side went Ryte in where as tha driver side won't allow th ball joint to sit back down in tha lca

 

Yes, both dust rings need to be removed if you're using Integra axles. For the side that's giving you trouble, are you sure it's seated in the half shaft all the way?

 

Yea it sits perfectly in tha half n I get it in tha spindle but when I try n set tha ball joint back on tha lca it doesnt wanna go straight down tha ball joint sits at like a 45 degree n it's so close but it still don't seem to wanna fit

 

Make sure the axle didn't separate inside the boot. I've seen this happen when people are struggling to get them stabbed. If you still have your old axle, do a side by side comparison with the new one making sure the lengths are the same. To do it correctly you have to stand them up on end and compress them. Laying them next to each other on the ground isn't going to cut it.
