So I have some vibration and from searching it seems that it might be my axles.
I have a 2000 honda s2000 With 76xxx miles. Car is not lowered Now but I don't know if the previews owner did.
So I wanted to know if they make any OEM axles that are affordable.
I know that oem from the dealer are about $400 each but I think that's overpriced.


Also What intake would be better :
The AEM v2 or the CT Engineering Carbon Fiber Intake

Any help would be great

 

Im moving this to UTH.

your second question - use the search function. Thanks

 

you can find axles for 100$ used, ebay it oem too.

 

You may not need to replace the entire axle. You may fix the vibration just by swapping the inner CV buckets from driver side to passenger and vis versa.

 

the problem is that if I buy used there won't be any guarantee that they don't have the same problem.

 

but will that last or will it be only temporary ?

 

It will last as long as your original axles...so long as you don't lower the car.

 

If I want to lower the car after I do this. The only way to avoid having the same problem would be to get the spacers right.

 

OK...this might get a little complicated. First, understand why the vibration happens. The vibration is caused by a wear spot in the CV bucket...lowering changes where the wear spot is located compared to stock ride height. There is a bearing that then jumps between the two wear spots and that causes the vibration.

If you are planning to lower, you might just lower the car and see if the vibration goes away since the previous owner had it lowered before.

In fact, the previous owner may have already done the CV bucket swap. If so...one side has the wear spot for a normal ride height and the other has a wear spot for lowered.

If it were me...I would go ahead and lower. If the vibration is still there, then you can either try the cv bucket swap or add spacers.

 

getting new axles is expensive, so does the inner cv joints.....
I bought Driveshaft axles for 400$....so far so good.
