i have the DSS axles from my 5th gen i am going to use in my 4th gen if they willwork, i havent even gotten the old motor out yet, so i havent tryed a test fit or anything, just curious if anyone knows

 

sam, just go to slhondaparts.com and compare the stock part numbers between the two models, thats all i did when you asked about the front cross member

 

No they are to long.

 

****!

too long how???

both sides, just one side???

what if i use the 97 intermediate shaft?

 

5th gens have a higher offset wheel, which implies that the mounting surfaces of the wheels are farther apart.

 

so...whatif i put in 5th gen spindles, which i was planning to do regardless

 

I wouls still say it wouldn't work. I have 5th gen spindles on my 4th gen, but with 4th gen alxes and half-shaft. I tried to use 5th gen alxes on my old 5th gen Accord and they would bined up if you tried to turn them cause they were to long.

 

but have u tried 5th gen axles in your 4th gen lude?

 

when did you get a 4th gen

i'm not sure on the length, but we know that 5th gen hubs
will work with 4th gen axles and vise versa from the 5 lug conversion
on the 4th gens.

edit: just checked hondaautomotiveparts.com and they are different part #s
and look to be different lengths

 

ive had a 4th gen for like a year now, engine went ka-blooey late last summer, been sittin ever since, now i have something new for it

 

Give them a try and see!

I would guess the difference in length would be pretty small.

 

there isnt exactly an engine in the 4th gen right now, i am in the process of stripping the chassis in order to give a new splash of color..... i mean, white is nice and all, but its just too plain for what the end result will be
