Ok so my s2000 the other day broke the driver side axle....at first i thought it was the diff. I was turning onto my street and was taking it easy from 1st to 2nd.....after being in second It popped out of gear and made a terrible noise, me thinking it was the diff.....Well i took the car to a friends shop we took it apart, and saw that the axle was garbage, so luckily i was able to get a brand new axle from honda....Put the axle in and the car drove fine again. We all decided to go out to eat afterwards, and after driving back to the shop, The shop owner was driving the car in front of us, The same thing happened again and this time the passanger axle took a shit.....so basically both axles broke within 10miles of driving.

Also a note, I learned how to drive on this car, and have NEVER done a burnout or any crazy power shifting, I baby this car.

So my options are to either replace just the passenger axle and call it a day.....or pull the diff out rebuild it and put a better lower gear in as well.

I just would hate to find out it was the diff, then be cruising on the highway at like 80mph and another axle break again causing a terrible accident.

Just would like some input on either replace just the axle or replace the diff and make it better and replace the other axle all at once.

Thanks.

 

no one?

 

what specifically broke on the axle? the spider gears in the cup attached to the diff? if so then it sounds like you just need to replace the pass axle and call it a day.

 

problem found..


in all seriousness i don't see why you would want to rebuild your diff with lower gears.. just replace the passenger axle.. though your problem sound a bit iffy?

 

These things just don't break. Were you the first owner? Sounds to me like that car had the shit beat out of it at some point in it's life.

 

Personally, I think the 2 axle swap is much cooler than the 2jz swap:

 

nasty nas is the coolest of all...

 

There are what 4 things that can break there, what broke, what did it look like?
