Default Please help! Having problems with axles!! Swapped ef

So I have an 91 ef hatch. It has an ls swap. And a b16 tranny. Do I just get em1 axles? I think I already got the passenger side in but I'm having trouble with the driver side. Do I get another passenger axle off an em1? Please any help would work. Thanks.

What would be the proper half shaft and axle? I'd rather just buy a new half shaft to get the right axle for sure.

You should be using DA axles 90-91. If you have a standard model civic you'll need to do something else to get it to work.

Use DA axles and halfshaft for proper lenght and to avoid binding. Cant use B axles in STD EF hubs.

I'll try da axles. I took off the old axles and didnt count the splines or anything before getting rid of them. I should've kept them.
