Default 1988 Honda Civic STD Axle Problems!

Before I go into detail, I have been to the FAQ section! I know you have to use 90-93 Integra Axles.. 94 and up with a different intermediate shaft.. etc...

My car is a 1988.. STD Model.. B16a with the YS1 Transmission..

The swap was ordered from H motors, they sent me the Axles and the Integra Knuckles Etc..

My driver axle broke today.. I went to the auto parts store to purchase a new one.. I bought one for a 93 Integra.. Not knowing if it had to be GSR, LS, RS.. Etc.. Installed the axle! Went on a test drive and the axle was not acting right! Lots of thumping.. and knocking.. Everything was installed correctly.. Did it multiple times!

I am going to post a picture of the axle I removed.. If anyone can tell me where to get this identical one, it would be greatly appreciated! Or if you could please point me in the right direction as to what I need to get this done! I am sure the axle did not come from the united states, but I could totally be wrong! Just need some help!

Every axle pulled from the parts store did not have the bumper/balancer on it!

Any help would be more than greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch!

Get the axle you bought replaced under warranty. Auto parts store axles are known to be hit or miss. Any 90-93 integra driver side axle will fit.

The axle that I pictured above is from h motors, just installed them about 3 months ago.. I'm guessing that one was just shot.. I guess tomorrow I will go to napa or bap geon and see if I can't get this thing wrapped up.. Thank you for your reply to my post!

Also, does it matter which model from 90-93?
