hey honda tech i have a 1990 integra and my driver side axle keep snapping and i cant seem to figure out why. i make a simple turn and it breaks my mounts are good there stock mounts with inserts.any advice would help!

 

what brand of axel and WHERE does it brake mid shaft or is it the CV ?

 

I had autozone axles and now I currently have pep boys axle. It pops out from mid shaft.when I tighten the axle up it looks stretched but can't figure out why

 

What do you mean tighten it up, and pops out of what?
Are you physically breaking the shafts in half or is it pulling apart from the inner cv joint?

 

As soon as I tighten the axle nut the axle it self looks like its stretched. The inner cv joint

 

And thats after the car is lowered to its ride hight correct?

Is it possible they gave you the wrong axle?

 

No while still in the air

I dont think so if they did then they gave me the wrong axle about 10 times

 

Then the axle must be pulling apart, not "breaking".

If the tripod is pulling apart, then the axle assembly is too short for the application. Yes, I know you've had many replacements installed, but it is possible you're always getting the wrong part, depending on the actual mechanical state of the car versus what it originally came with.

AZ and Pep Boys can only sell you what their books say is correct for the car, and that's wholly based on original equipment.

Now if its the BOOT that's "breaking" and not the axle, then the problem and solution are very obvious.

 

Those axles suck! get a refurbished one from the dealer its worth it! after the last auto zone axle poped out on me on the freeway i never use those again spent $300+ on a refurbished axle from the dealer and never had a problem!

 

I think for just a regular new DD car they're fine I used part store axels on my 09 fit have logged over 15K miles with them no issues, heavy winters also. just saying I've never tired them on my DC tho

 

Oriellys auto new axles are pretty nice. Import direct drive I think? Like, 56 bucks each

 

The axle rips the boot and pops out
