I own a 91 accord (lx 5speed) and I have to replace the cv axles about ever 6 months. I really and have any go fast mods on it yet so I know that hp is not the cause of the problem. The only think that I can think that might be causing the problem is my 2 1/2 to 3 inch drop (but no body else with a drop is having this problem). Please post any reason and solutions that you think that might be causing this. Thanks!!

 

have you checked your frotn and rear motor mounts to see if they are borken?

 

what kind of axels are you replacing them with, rebuilt ones?

 

Wow my 93 has 246,000 miles and the original CV joints... what are you doing to those things??

 

i replaced six in two months recently

rebuilt axles from any auto-parts store suck, just thank god they have a warranty

I bought some from Mardi at RAXLES and the problem went away. Your drop will ruin axles. You can take aprt the CV abd tell what the problem is. If the bearings are wearing an uneven pattern on the cup then its your drop.

 

I bought my Axels from http://www.Raxels.com. Call up and talk to Marty, he is a cool guy. Their Axels and boots are very very high quality and you will not be dissapointed, plus they have a lifetime warranty, and if thney do go bad, you DON'T have to send them back before they give you new ones(leaving you without a car for a while), they send the new ones and you send the old ones after you swap. BUT, I have had my new Axels from Raxels for about 2 years now and my car is dropped really low, normally about a vertical fist from the ground or 3 inches at the front bumper and I use a 50 shot from my Nitrous Express kit every once in a while. I stand behind these Axels 100% and have never done business with a guy like Marty. -Ryan

 

wow did not know that a broken motor mount could cause cv axles to go bad.. Thanks for the info.

 

2.5 to 3 inch drop??? D@mn man, that's low!
