Hey guys,
alright so after going through 3 sets of cheap axles i decided to buy a set of hasports.
been daily driving on them for about a month now and they just started clicking.
its a very quiet click and only happens on hard turns.
Is this click the same click thats associated with worn cv joints or is this normal with performance axles?
should i contact hasport?
thanks in advance

 

What application are you trying to fit axles into ??? How LOW is the car ???

 

My bad shouldve mentioned, its for a 98 Integra with a b18c5 and gsr box. Its about 1.5 - 2 inches lower than stock.

 

Not normal. Contact Hasport or the dealer you purchased from.

 

I agree with Aquafina... if this is a street driven car with normal front end geometry and is lowered 1.5-2 inches... it should be fine... unless the front end has been really smashed or something.

 

before the swap what was the car originally?

so other than going full lock and hearing the axles click how do they drive?

 

its an LS, so i swapped in the b18c5 with the gsr box using the stock ls mounts, had no issues with the swap. Engine and gearbox are completely stock. They drive perfectly fine, all i noticed was the clicking so far on the outer joints. no vibrations or anything like that

I want to rule out any other possibilities before replacing the axles, any ideas on what may cause premature wear on the cv joints?

 

the car is a manual chassis?
i highly doubt there is premature axle wear going on as the axles only make noise when turning hard
you say you went thru 3 sets of axles before? what happened with those axles?

 

Yep manual. my last 3 pairs of axles met a similar fate, they all started clicking after about a month or so of daily driving. I was told by several mechanics and others on here that i just needed to buy a pair of good quality axles. But now im suspecting that theres something else thats causing them to break, rather than the axles themselves being at fault. I doubt its my suspension geometry so im trying to figure out what's making my car an axle killer.

 

so the axles arent actually breaking per say they are just starting to click on hard turns?

 

right, it gets gradually worse but ive replaced them before it got too bad
