So I have my 1990 CRX (DX) with an F20b. My driver side CV axel was going bad (because the boot tore, and I was negligent to replace it asap). Anyways, I was trying to do research on what CV axels to replace my current ones. These ones I ordered off of Swapshop, and they don't appear identical. The old one is my driver side CV axel that I need to replace.


Or I'm wondering if these appear close enough that they will work.

 

I would think that if the overall compressed length is the same, mounting snout ends match, spline count same then you should be ok. Just make sure there's no interference with the boots rubbing on something since they are in a slightly different location when installed.

 

yeah, those were sort of my same thoughts. I decided to just send it. Almost done installing.

 

maybe that wasn't the right move, because now my car is pulling pretty hard to the left.

 

I wonder if the axle is too long? Definately look into doing some more research as to finding the correct part you need. If what you have is going to be all you have to work with, an alignment should be done asap..

 

Okay, I'm gonna be honest, it was like half an inch longer than the original CV axel. So I ended up doing more research, and I think I've figured out what's going on. My intermediate shaft in my car is definitely not a H22 half shaft, and that is what I need to make these CV axels work. I believe my current set up is a 1990 accord half shaft with 1990 Integra CV axels (based on doing some deep digging, this was the set up people seemed to settle on for the cheap). I'm gonna order a driver's side Integra CV axel to my local O'Reilly's, just so I can compare them. But at the same time, I definitely want to make these CV axels work, so I already ordered a Yonoka Motorsports H22 half shaft, and I'm just gonna hope it works..
