Just got a swap done, and the passenger side axle seems to be binding. They are 90 integra axles w/place racing mounts, don't know which tranny. When you drive it pulls to the right very hard and feels like driving over bumps repeatedly. Also before the swap everything was fine. Trying to find out if this may be the axle or hub bearing. Thanks in advance.

 

Seeing as you never said what the swap was I will just have to assume. But I've heard that when you swap a B-series into your car you have to remove the dust sheild and some kind of other thing because it makes it too hard for the axel to turn. I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about and can help you out.

 

I'm sorry, it is a b16 cable tranny(of course). The person who is working on it has done many before and told me he was hesitant on removing anything from the hub(liability reasons), also he said in the past he has never had to do such a thing.

On Tuesday he wil replace the axle in hopes that the axle was bad. If it doesn't fix it, I will have the car towed to my house and disassemble the axle and remove the spacer and dust shield. I did see the instructions on the hasport website, but he said it would be better that I do it instead.

Anyone else have this problem before? I did a search and the only post I found did not include a possible remedy. Please post your thoughts, as it has been a very anxious time for me. Thanks.

 

If you're using 90-93 Teg axles, you must remove the metal dust seal from the hub/knuckle and also remove the rubber dust seal from the end of the axles.

need pics? I got 'em

 

yea i need those pics if you got them..

thanks

 

which intermediate shaft are you using?

If you are using the SIR I-shaft, custom axles are advised for proper use..

all the info is at hasport.com

 

im using ZC axles and the ZC intermediate shaft, but my passenger side is starting to click, and i need to replace it. should i just go ahead and get 90-93 integra axles and intermediate shaft?

 

Rasta420.....
I've never heard of using ZC axles......I'm assuming that you have a ZC motor/tranny?.......if that's so.....then I don't think you could use Teg axles because they're set up for a B series motor/tranny combo as the ZC is a D series motor/tranny combo. D series use a longer drivers side axle and no intermediate/jack shaft.

Anyone?..........

 

yea i have a ZC tranny on my d16a6. i thought you could use teg axles on my setup...oh well, anyone else?

 

At first he was using the I-shaft that came with the motor package, but it had problems. He replaced the I-shaft with a 90 or so integra one. So now it seems as if it is the other side having problems. As for the metal dust sheild I've seen the pics from hasport, but I will have to remove them as he won't touch that area. But I think we both hope it is just a bad axle on the passenger side. My car has been rejecting the transplant as soon as it was started.
