OK, so I get my h22 EG swap started for the first time last night, started right up by the way! FULL REBUILD and my first h22 into a civic, and yeah, started right up and NOT ONE CEL! Alright, enough gloating.

Anyway I get done and let it idle for a while, I am checking things out and then I go for a drive, all is good until I get above 33mph, anything at that speed or above and the car shakes like crazy!!! I mean shaking like the dash is going to jump out, the shake is in or out of gear, and with the clutch engaged or disengaged so I figured it had to be an axle. So I rack my car, and I can't visibly see anything, so I took out my brand new axles and went to talk to my boy at NAPA, he handed me some new ones. I put these ones in and it still does it! At this point I know it has to be axles or the hub, something in the chassis drivetrain. So the last thing I do before I go home is raise up the car, because it was sitting kind of low, so I raised up my coilovers, and PROBLEM SOLVED!!! H22 civics don't like to be low!!! So now all I have to do is figure out how to be able to keep my car low and not have axle problems!

 

The reason why you have problems with the axle and the reason why many other h22a swaps turn out bad is because of the axle length. If you use the proper length axle you can lower your car all the way down!

 

Thanks, I plan to upgrade real soon, I just needed something to get it up and running for the 1000 mile break in!

 

good luck with it!

 

i have worked on a few h22 eg's that did this.....i told the owners they had to raise the car up....but they didn't cause it didn't look right....they just kept replacing axels every 2 weeks!

 

Props man, looks really good. Who did the sleeves?

 

so what would be the proper axle for an EK-22 swap??????????

 

all about axle length

 

so if i buy the axles from driveshaft shop my car should stop vibrating?
My only vibrates when i turn left,
I had order some coilovers so i could raise my car up...but i got jiped which sucks b/c thats a waste of alot of money....soi dont wanna trying buy another set of coilovers...so i plan on going driveshaft and i just wanna konw if they'll stop it

 

i like this thread I need the info as well. I am going with driveshaftshop.com axles but i am definatly curious if there will be a problem when low. i want to keep my front end very low to help launching.

I encountered the very same problem with my GSR swap into a 92-95. I changed out the differential, axles, wheel bearings.. the works. Nothing helped. I wonder if it was the rack now that I look back.. or it could of been it being too low or something.

bump this up, i got the same problem

 

oh man i just thought it was my car ****** up. my car vibrates turning left and going stright. when i turn right it goes away.

 

usually axles shaking in a H22 eg is due to inproper lengths of the shaft, I use 89 teg axles cause the axles were shorter and that fixed MY prolem however it caused another. By the axle being short it ended up pulling the axle boot to the point where it would pull the axle out of the tranny, so I fixed that problem by simply swapping the tranny side cv cup with one from a prelude and it has never backed out again.

 

with this problems with left turn or turning left, which side axel is the cause of it? driver or passenger?

 

Hey Reed whats up? Glad to hear you got that thing up and running. In case any of you doubt the time and effort this kid put into his car dont.

Im not sure if I could have that much patience.

Was up in your area and was gonna stop by the shop but we had a two day race and time flew by...

lol You may not remember me but I stopped by with my brother (were the old guys) who lives in that area earlier this year and I had driven my black si with the itr swap up from Wyoming.

BTW I was racing autox with one of your boys with an eg and a h22 swap...cant remember his name but he has Club Si stickers on it. Oh, and I smoked him

 

okay i had the same problem with my H22 EG and i finally spent the money and got some drive shaft shop axles and POOOOFFFFF!!!!! problem fixed no more vibration. your right H22 EG's don't like to be low-untile now-now they love it!!!!

 

which side did you have the vibration on? how low is your car sitting? photos happy for ya man

 

I have the same problem, when i go left the car vibrates like crazy.
So, I got 2 new axles put in but now the when i go right in vibrates even worst than before, but it is fine when I go left.
What axles do I need to fix that.
