Hey this is my first post on here, I'm new to hondas, I was driving and I came to a stop and then when I went to move again it wouldn't go anywhere. It used to make popping noises when it would hit pot holes. Would i need a new axle? Or can i just pop this one back in. Thank you for your help.

 

Did it fall out, or did it break? Take a picture from under the car, so we can actually see the axle.

What else is wrong with the vehicle?



"No maintenance! Drive it 'til something breaks!"

 

What else would i need besides the axle?

 

That is something you, a friend, or a mechanic will need to determine. We can't do that for you online- someone needs to physically look at it.



What year and make is the car? Are you sure you're in the correct forum?

 

It's a 2002 civic 5speed. Well when I look at it, what are the things that I should look for? I've done a lot of work on cars but never anything like this

 

Check whether the inner CV joint is still inserted into the differential. If so, remove and replace axle.

 

Okay. I had to ask because I've never seen this before, and I have an '02 5spd coupe.






How many miles are on the car? Here is a maintenance list from the FAQs page: FAQ: Maintenance Schedules - Honda-Tech

Find one of these manuals, either new or used. Click Me. You're going to need it. And it's better than any other manual.

But after having a second look, it looks like it snapped and fell out of the inboard CV. Look at This picture. If #6 is still in the diff, the axle is broken.



EDIT: The link for the manual- click it twice. I know it sounds odd, and it is, but it takes you to the homepage the first time; second click will take you to the manual. If it doesn't, just Google search "Helm 61S5C01" and click the second search result. (61S5C01 - Helm Inc.)

Also available is a digital copy, if you prefer that to a physical copy.
