Like the title says, im wondering if the b series axles would fit at all into the std spindles i apparently have on my vehicle.

The only reason i ask is because shortly after i got the axles and switched them out at autozone, (verifying that they are in fact b series axles) i took one of the axles and slid the side that would normally go in the inside of the hub and slid it inside the hub from the outside on the passenger side of the vehicle, the car is currently lifted with no engine or transmission and no wheels.

The splines matched up and it fit in snugly. Only asking this question because i think the spindles might have already been switched out with dx or si spindles.

Thanks.

 

The outer spline should all be the same, thats 26 spline, the inner splines differ on bseries

 

Im sorry i should have specified, im gonna go b20vtec not trying to use b series axles with a d16 or anything lol. So you talking about the splines on the knuckle? or on the transmission?

 

They will not fit STD/HF knuckles (maybe if you wanna do custom outer ends but what's the point?). If it fit then you don't have STD/HF knuckles. It's a difference in spline count. Either it works or it doesn't.

 

Awesome thats what i was wondering. Thanks.

 

 

Standard (ED6) Honda Civic Hatchback knuckles will not work for your application. You need to get different knuckles. Si, EX, DA Integra, etc.

The STD Hatch axles use a different outer spline than what your B-series axles use. You need to do a knuckle swap. Basically, if your car came with a 4-speed transmission stock, it will need new knuckles.

I googled "b series std ef hatch knuckles"

I think most B-series write ups mention the STD/HF knuckles are being different since those are popular chassis (lightest).

 

The spline on the knuckles are all the same thats (bseries and dseries)

 

That's not true.

I believe that thread is in the FAQs too.

 

X2, ask me how I know.

 

Let me guess.... the same way I know? You tried to stick the axle in and it didn't fit?

I went with DA knuckles. 10.3" Brakes, super easy swap, no problems.

 

Yes, more than....damn 15 years ago now LOL

 

WHOA. Old school. Well, I guess the late 90's wasn't too long ago. 15 years sounds like a lot though.
