integra xsi b16a in crx hf

i was putting my axles back in the motor the other day and i noticed if looking at it like you are in the drivers seat the right axle seems go be comming htrough the hub about 1 inch. looks good and looks like axle nut will fit on there fine with no problem. but the other side i get the spindle back on and it looks like theres under half and inch for the axle nut to screw back on. is this normal for such a small amount of space on this side? i matched the axles by actually looking in where the axle is inserted. the female end was grooved all the way through so i took the axle that had grooves extending fully on the male end of the axle and put it on that side. for the other side which was only half grooved, i put the axle which only was half grooved. sorry for such the crappy terminology. but is this right or is something wrong? thanks.

 

bump

 

from which car did u get the axle from and what kind of mounts are you using?

 

since my swap was a complete swap off of hmotorsonline i assume he gave me the axles from the xsi which would be the 92 integra. also hasport mounts.

 

hmm, well ur question is still a little hard to understand, well for me it is, hehe But anyways... from what i understand u r talking about the intermediate shaft and the driver side axle? And u r wondering if u have the correct side axle on the intermediate shaft?

 

im sorry i was up real late last night and didn't have a good head. maybe i can re-explain it a little more clearly.

alright, so im fixing up my suspension, putting the new si spindles on my 88 crx hf. i match the axles by looking at the end of the engine side of the shaft. one axle, where the axles actually slides into the engine, is splined fully and the other axle is only splined half way. i match the axle that has the full spline with the right side of the engine. (when im saying splined, i mean grooves that grab to actually make the axle spin as the engine spins.) this side has a hole that would accept the full splined axle. for the other axle that is only grooved half way i put it on the left side. when i look into this side i see that where the axle is inserted is only half grooved so i put the axle which is only half grooved in. the right side seems fine. i have about an inch (probably a little less, but just using an inch for reference) coming out of the rotor and looks like the axle nut will securely and safely attach. as for the other side, it looks like there is under half an inch coming through the rotor. i could screw the axle nut on there but it just doesn't seem normal.

is this normal. i looked where it inserts into the intermediate shaft and it looked like it was pretty well in there. anyone got any suggestions. and sorry i don't know all the technical terms for all this. kinda makes it 2 times as hard for someone to answer it.

 

well i understood this. your drivers side axel sticks out of the hub one inch and ur ppassenger side only sticks out half an inch. if thats the problem and you dont have your axel nuts tightened down dont worry. just torque down the axel nuts and itll be fine. are both axels going into the engine?

 

ahhhh i understand now... it took me a fourth time reading it to understand, but yea..i get it hahaha sorry!

anyways i agree with 91civic it is normal, and all u need to do is tighten it

 

haha im really sorry guys, i was up all night studying for a test and didn't get much sleep. jesus maybe i should go to sleep now. but yeah basically they are both sticking through the rotors and are both seated in their correct places, just one is out alot further than the other. ill also see if i can snap some pictures real quick and post them up tonight. good stuff, thanks guys.

 

alright i got some pictures. sorry about the size and quality.

Is the pass side fully seated in the tranny?
If both sides a fully seated in the intermediate shaft and tranny just tighten them up they will equal out.
BTW You got a little rust their.

 

yeah, the car i got them off of sat for awhile. i didn't realize it was that long. thanks for the info
