I have a 91 civic hatch with a jdm b16 in it, with a b16 trans. This is the PROBLEM that i cant figure out. Alright i put brand new gsr axles in my car and now when i drive the car makes this crazy vibration only when im on the gas, the car wont vibrate when im at a speed and push in the clutch tho, SOME WEIRD SHIT RIGHT! this has me going crazy, im bout to put my old axles back in and see if the problem goes away. i have lifted my car thousands of times to see if anything was loose or anything, i have even raised the springs to see if it will go away and it didnt go away but the vibration is lower than before, also when the axle nnuts seem to loosen up after i tourqed them to proper spec! When i drive it feels like the vibration gets worse as i hit like a bump in the road also.....


*****if anyone has had this problem please let me know what you think, i have asked tons of people and we cant figure it out, im not stupid either when i comes to cars so this shit is killing me!******************LET ME KNOW..

 

bump

 

your wheel bearings are separated from the hub, and the axle nut is not getting loose, the wheel bearing is just being re-compressed to where it needs to be because the axle nut is putting pressure on it.

Two options...

Replace your wheel bearings
or
Tighten the shit out of your axle nut with a 1/2" impact.. Then loosen and re-torque and check to see if the problem is resolved.

 

that wasnt the problem, assholes up at the autoparts stores gave me one defective bend axle, thats where i was getting that vibration from............

 

Is the problem officially fixed?
Getting a us axle to work in a jdm trans in an ef doesn't always work.

 

the problem should be fixed i ordered 91 DA LS axles and thats what should fix the problem, i know someone personal that is using them now wit no problem

 

i put my old ones back in, the only problem was that i had one ripped boot, just decided to plat it safe then sorry and get new ones while i had the extra cash

 

We have had to put a new outer on the older axle to make it work in the past.
Good Luck.
