in that article it says to remove some metal 0 from the hub, I didnt and my car shakes so bad that my CD player wont play. Is this normal for a B20 swap? It feels as tho the axles are binding the more I accelerate. When I brake, the shaking almost stops, (theres still a lil shaking, nothing compared to accelerating and crusing) what could it be????

thanks

the hub dust shield, will not make your car shake like yours is doing. what i think is doing it, is the rear tranny bracket that holds the tranny mount to the rear cross member! do you remember massaging the lip of the rear cross member, so that the bracket won't touch it. if you forgot to do this, the car will shake like there is no tomorrow! if you did bend the lip, go back and recheck that you bendt it to the point that the bracket is not touching the rear cross member! good luck

 

I forgot to add, what would cause my axles to bind like they do? They bind when I turn cornors. I'll check the rear tranny mount.

thanks,

blaze, what year axles are you using? i remember using a 91 passenger side axle on my 88 crx, and i didn't have any problems with the axle binding without removing the dust seal on the hub!

 

Im using 90-93 teg axles, I dont know what year cause I bought em used.

If you didnt remove the dust rings from the hubs, then obviously thats your problem right there. Thats causing all of your problems.

Also, what intermediate shaft did you use? did you get it with the axles?

 

Did you bang out the space for the alternator? That will cause some noise under acceleration too.

 

my vote is for the hub rings bro

 

I never took mine out, and never experienced any issues because of them.

 

Yes, remove the hub rings... I tried to get my car to run without removing them, and it didn't even want to get out of the garage, the axles were binding so badly. Two hours later and it was smooth as buttah.

 

Wow I guess I lucked out. I went over 500 miles with them in on my old axles.

I took them off with my new set though to see if there is a difference.

 

Wha are the hub rings, i have d series, but just wonderng just to know..

 

Yes someone please post actually pcitures of a hubring in your hand and show where they came from! I cannot get any type of ring out of my hub after bending a crowbar (very tip and it was just a lil still non the less.).... raene said he just pulled his out with his hand!!! Thanks for everyones help. BTW 90-93 teg axles and int. shaft as well as removed dust ring from axles.

thanks

#2.

 

I was exaggerating when I said I used my hand, I'm not THAT strong I actually used a very small prybar or a screwdriver... can't remember which. And yes, it's #2 on the picture there.

You want a pic of someone holding it in their hand? Here's my hand:



As you can see the dust ring goes into the back of the hub/knuckle assembly:

 

Just 'cause I'm such a nice guy, here's the same graphic with some editing, the dust ring is the highlighted portion:

 

Check for rings on the axle. My axles were too stiff too, and I had to pull it apart and take the rings off.

 

Well IM very stoaked that my car is acually running code free (cept for 14 easy fix) but I was able to get my car out of limp mode. THE B20 HAULS NUTTS! I bruned rubber im 4th grear! WOOOO HOOOOO! Dude I almost need to go drive it again, cept the clutch cable bracket I ghetto fab'd from my D15 is giving out, so Im gonna have to get a new one. YEHA~!~! Im gonna rip the suspension apart again tommrow and rip that stupid ring out! Thanks everybody!!!!!!

Woohoo, it's working again How did you fix the no-start problem? I never heard...

 

i had a shaking problem after my swap as well but i did take the dust rings out....if you stil have the shaking problem after then try it could be your intermediate shaft cuz i had the wrong one and when i would make right hand turns it would shake real bad..i doubt its ur problem...good luck tho man. congrats on the swap
