i am pretty sure my axles are worn by what i have read on here and by common knowledge based on how hte car acts, my question si where cna i get a good set of rear axles i need to travel 500 miles to MI and back down to TN in a week....honda wants 575 each from teh dealer, drive shaft shop is cheaper and the are rated higher, and i don't know if o'reillies or advanced auto parts or napa or etc... would carry what i need...help on where to buy axles or what to do would be great...thanks people of s2ki...lol

 

I got the entire assembly for around 200 from advance auto online. Disassembled and replaced the cup on one side and replaced the whole shaft and joint on the other. At advance they discontinued the drivers side so I had to reuse the old shaft but replaced the cup.

The axle itself is a steel rod with splines at both ends.
There is not much to wear.
Only the splines can "wear", if that happens the splines in the outboard CV or the splines in the spider in the inboard CV are also damaged (or both).

If the inboard CV is damaged (vibration during acceleration) you could swap them left/right.
That gives a fresh patch of steel on the "drive" side.

 

thanks for the info, sorry i wasn't tech. enough with my wording i was in a hurry to type it out.

 

Corey,

Spitfire is correct - if you need some help let us know, I can come down - or you can come up to KY.

 

I got my from Carquest Auto parts there made by Cardone and are remans and were $200 a piece. Honda wanted $750 and axle.

 

i was thinking of just upgrading to the driveshaft shop setup for when i go turbo, but for now i might jsut switch them for the trip to MI in a week, i have did a tranny swap and an engine swap in an s2k a few times os i think this should be cake but if i need somethign i will eb sure to ask u guys, thanks for your help... s2ki for all your s2000 needs and questions...lol
