I just recently did an H22 Swap into a 92 Civic CX. Everything seemed to go fine then when i got it on the road i noticed that the passenger side wheel sat back farther then the drivers side. I fixed that issue by replacing a bent suspension part. Ater i fixed that there is a pretty bad vibration coming from that side of the car. i replaced the Rotor, the tie rod end, the brake caliper and tried several tires. It feels as if the wheel is square. I have yet to get an alignment. Would that make that harsh of a vibration?

 

alignment would not cause such a harsh vibration. sounds like a bent wheel.

 

Well thats the thing though, i tried 3 different wheels...

 

It could.

 

anyone else have any ideas what it could be?

 

the only reason I could see that your alignment would be causing the vibration would be that maybe you 'toe is WAY off, but i don't even think that would do it.

 

I had the same problem. It was so shakey I had to drive with 4 hands. Replaced the axle and it solved the issue.

 

yeah, i'd look at the axle as well, especially if you had a bent suspension component.

 

The axles are new ones from Driveshaft shop. Stage 2 axles, i guess i will give them a call and maybe have them replaced. Also whats the best way to determine that it is an axle problem?

replace the axle. Thats all you can do. Id be pretty sure its the axle if it vibrates more turning one direction than the other. if its not the axle, take it back. No loss.
