i just finished putting on my new axles, and i noticed that the driver side is about 1 1/2 shorter then the pass side, i never knew that, i always thought that both sides were the same. sorry for stupid post but just thought there might be another noob that did know this.

MY SHAKES ARE GONE!!!!!

 

I just had mine replaced today as well I was not quite sure what the difference was but it was two different part numbers.

My shakes are gone as well and the car is nice and smooth

 

How do you know when you need new axles? What shakes will you notice out of curiosity?

 

Well early model S2000s have a habit of wearing out there Inner CV Joints causing a nasty vibration upon acceleration.

There is even a Honda TSB on it

 

does it matter wat kind of axles u use?...oem ones r kinda pricey and i was thinkin maybe autozone or 'o riley?

 

I have Cardone Remanufactured axles in mine I got from Carquest autoparts that work good.

They were $200 a piece after core return. whereas honda wanted $750. I could replace the remans like 4 times for the price of the hondas.

 

nevermind, my shakes are still there and a lot worse now??? i drove around the block after i put it on and it was fine but when i took it on the freeway it felt like my car was gonna fall apart, whats wrong??, i bought the right side axle from honda and the left was from a member on this forum, (the left axle was supposed to be new but now that i look at it, it looks used just re-painted) i'm gonna replace the left side with my old axle and see if it helps, kinda pissed off right now,

 

Had my axles on since friday and no issues car is as smooth as butter. I did replace both axles though with remans.
