ok so I recently purchased a 93 dx hatch with a jdm b16a swap, b16 LSD trans and been converted from cable to hydro. Its not a bad car until you drive it....let me explain.

So when you let off the clutch while driving it pulls hard. Then when you got it cruising along and let off the gas all the way it practically pulls the wheel out of your hand. DS axle was broken when I got it so I recently replaced it. thought replacing it would help but it hasnt.

I desperately need to get this fixed. its my dd and I gotta have it.

Any help, suggestions on what to fix, ideas....whatever, please throw them out to me.

thanks

 

Check that the axel is seated properly then tie rod and ball joints, not much to go off from your OP.

 

When you let off the gas, it acts like it's trying to torque steer? Get the alignment checked.

 

Check all bushings in the front also

 

Check mounts too.

 

+1. when's the last time you did an alignment?

 

just got the axle in it last night. took it for the test drive and noticed it so I threw this thread up for suggestions.

 

what other info do you need that can help out some more?
the axle is in all the way. i double checked it like what was suggested. Would the steering rack have anything to do with it? I mean the car was originally an automatic that was then swapped to a manual. The power steering was removed and the steering rack is still for the power/automatic.

sorry just trying to come up with any/all possible options on what I need to do to narrow this down so I can get it all taken care of.

thanks

 

sounds like your upper ball joints are shot....

 

well I am ordering all brand new front suspension. I will be replacing the rear bushings and stuff once I find a rear disk conversion. So thats my goal now that I have gotten so many suggestions.

Complete new suspension front and rear
Rear disk conversion.

Any suggestions on good rear control arms and sub frame brace?
thanks everyone

 

Function 7 and an ASR brace if you have the money. good quality items

 

you aaid car was OG a auto? if so did you buy correct auto/manual mount? there is a diff from eg/dc auto/manual mount.

 

IDK what mounts they put in it (i know they are the hasport solid mounts). What would happen if they didnt install one of these special mounts?

 

it COULD cause it to do what your having issues with (if they got it to hang on the mount some how). it would throw off driveline angle increasing tq steeer.

however i think your issue is with alignment, or a tie rod issue

 

ok. I will check the mount as soon as I get off work.

 

it definitely could be a worn out tie rod end.... pop the tie rod out and see if the joint is worn out.. I had one that was so sloppy and had so much play in it even just touching the lines in the center of the road would pull the car off the road...

 

well after looking at the mount and then looking at some conversion mounts online, I know that it does not have the conversion mount on it. I will get a pic of it in the morning. I am trying to get an alignment scheduled asap.

 

ok so update time......still lost here. So I ordered the conversion mount only to find out that it does not fit the holes on my tranny. So here is the run down again.
B16 (has 93 stamped on the head. I think that's the year)
swapped from auto to manual
transmission was converted from cable to hydro

engine sits a little higher on the trans side

mount part that is welded to the car has been cut and rewelded.
How do I know if they mounted it in the correct spot or whatever? are there any specs on measurements where it was factory? I believe that it is off center which is causing it to sit off center and giving me the torque steer.
any thoughts on this? I will try to get some pics for you guys but I could use any helpful thoughts/ideas/suggestions that can be thrown my way. I am trying to get this fixed without having to pull the motor and everything. Thanks everyone.

 

you bought the hydro conversion mount... you need the cable conversion mount.

 

The mount location shouldn't have needed to be cut and rewelded to the shock tower...

 

i bought the auto to manual conversion mount. Thats what I was told I needed. apparently not lol.

 

I'm guessing this car was K swapped at one time... hence the mount being removed and rewelded...

 

idk. I will get a pic of it so you guys can see what I am saying. I am totally confused and I gotta get it done asap

 

I don't know man LOL. I've seen some STUPID stuff in my years with modified Honda's. You could be right but who goes from a K back to a B?


Can a ninja get a pic of your engine bay? It'd make this so much easier!

 

this is the mount I was told I needed. Obviously its wrong and wont bolt to my trans.

this is the bolt up for my trans

This is the rewelding I was talking about

This is the back side of the same bracket that they welded.

Best engine bay pic I have so far.
