Default DRIVESHAFTS AXLES for Honda Civic EK Coupe with H22A swap

Hello everyone!

I'm new here in forum, but I really need your help. We bought a race car, with H22A swap. When we bought it, driveshaft axle just got broken, so we used original driveshaft axle from B series honda crx. It fitted well, but my question is, that the only driveshaft axle that could fit? I find B series original driveshaft axles to be very expensive, and I'm sure there is some kind of axles that fits well too. Maybe someone who knows, could help us out? We already tried the Tegiwa B series driveshaft axles, they are too long and doesn't fit.

Our civic with h22a (147kw)

There is no inexpensive solution. Even the '88-91 CRX "B" series axles are incorrect... the inner joint on the right side is not long enough to stay snapped into the differential. Axle selection also depends on what mount kit is used as engine placement within the engine bay differs slightly between kits.

As we know, the bearing is still from the civic, so there comes the question how is that. The front tyres have pretty big camber, if we would remove the camber, probably driveshafts woudl fit, but as a race car camber is needed.

What bearing are you referring to ? The issue with the inboard joint is that the H22 splined male joint is 1/8 - 3/16" LONGER than the "B" series axle, so the snap ring which locks the axle in place doesn't reach the snap ring groove inside the H series differential, and thus, why the "B" series axle will not work properly.

There is NO factory axle that you can buy that is correct for your application. There may still be some aftermarket companies like HASPORT or Raxles that produce what you need, but you will have to dig a bit. If you have the ability to build your own axles, here is what you need:

LEFT SIDE AXLE: '92-96 Prelude female inboard joint, '86-89 Acura Integra axle shaft and '90-01 Integra outboard joint.
RIGHT SIDE AXLE: '92-96 Prelude male inboard joint, '90-93 Acura Integra axle shaft and outboard joint.
