the inner cv joints are going bad, this is the second set of axles i have tried. has anyone else had this problem with their b16 swaps? im using 90-91 axles and no dust caps or anything. the inner CV joint makes alot of noise now when im on the throttle, and i am worried its gonna explode while im drivin.

 

reaplace them with lifetime warrant .... that will be ur best option in case u blow them again soon.... yes they can get messed up with no reason....
and its not going to explode.. the worst that cna happen is that axle breaks and ur car will stop moving..

 

im more curious how to fix it. rather than bandage it up, im looking for solutions. i am thinking a new trans or a frame alignment check. i dont know where else t check

Is your car lowered? What is the front end alignment like? Also what mount kit are you using?

 

thats why cv joints go bad.. dirt gets on them and brakes them.... u need those boots... anyways it s not tranny problem u better getting new axles and aligning the car... thats ur best bet right now

 

Did you check your wheel bearings? Are they good?

 

second that

 

th car has ben aligned. it is not lowered. the inner CV joints are the problem, not the outer ones. the wheel bearings turn smoothly, and there is no play. help please

 

sorry im using hasport kit. Y1 trans w/ LSD

 

Are using the 90-91 integra intermediate shaft as well or the SiR intermediate shaft??

 

i use integ int. shaft and teg axles.

someone help me get to the bottom of this
could a bent frame cause tihs rpoblem?
'

 

yes it is very possible a bent subframe would do that.

 

same thing I am using on my crx, had one int shaft crack so far no reoccuring probs.
cept my car is lowered 2 1/2" w/camber kit.

 

I thought that the SIR Intermedidate shaft wont work on a USDM car, i could be wrong

 

My friends 91 SI w/ B16 swap was curbed pretty hard in the front end, bent his subframe, had it replaced and he kept going through axles every other week or so. It was the inners that were breaking. his solution: Bought another Si and we swapped the motor out and put the SI motor in the car he sold... Sorry im not much help on this but I have seen it before.
