I have a 1990 Honda accord, my car is lowered 2.5 in front, 350lbs/in springs. I've had this problem ever since I've had my H22A swap. Used Accord Int. Shaft, and Accord axles. My Rear motor mount has one crack, but I'm pretty sure that is not what is causing my problem. I use autozone remanufactured axles, and every time I use them, they start clicking when I turn after like 50 miles. I've been told that this is because my car is too low, and the axles are actually binding under the pressure and killin them. Is this true and should I modify my suspension or is it just a case of crappy axles from autozone? Have any of you run into this kind of lowering problem? Thanks alot guys.

 

First off, i would go to the accord forums! But i can help you. I use to have an h22 in my 90 accord ex. It was not lowered and i went with prelude axles because they matched the tranny. However that really doesnt matter, cause they are pretty much the same exact thing except for the ABS sensor rings on the outside. I never had this problem. My guess is because it is lowered too much. I am guess you have Coil overs. If so try raising the car back up and see if it persists.

 

Actually, just lowered with springs and upgraded shocks.

hey did you have those lude axels custom made to fit your accord? cause they are too long.

 

those autozone axles just suck. One died on me 2 hours from my house on the interstate, and I had to get a tow back home. The replacement one is still in my car, although it started clicking probably within a week. There is a place in my town called CV Specialists and their axles are WAY better, and only about $10 more.

And you are right for using the accord axles with your swap.
