Default 1992 civic hatchback b series swap problems

Hi guys I have a 1992 Honda Civic hatchback with a b18b1 swap don't know out of what integra it came out but my axles seem to be too short & I already replaced them with new ones & it did the same thing , I'm just wondering if there's a solution to this problem if any of you guys could help me it would be great .

Any 94-01 integra axels would work. 94-97 del sol VTEC, or 99-00 civic si(sir in Canada) axels will work too.

If they're Integra axles then they should fit. I have a 93 hatch with a b series swap and have replaced my axles a few times, always with axles for a 94-01 Integra.

Be sure to get an intermediate shaft as well.

Yes. You need a b series intermediate half shaft. If you don't have one then that's definitely why your axle was short. I'm now guessing that it was the drivers side that was to short.

It mostly depends on your driving, quality of the axle and of course how much horsepower you're making. I've broke new axles on the street with a little over 200 whp slamming second gear.

Also the angle of axles makes a difference. An axle on a slammed car is going to break sooner than one with proper geometry, all other things being equal. The boots wear faster as well.
