what is wrong with this picture besides the axle broken.

the engine is SLIGHTLY tilt i recongize today. but that amount cant not break my axle that's barely tilts..


steeering rack


it touch the car. but i heard if the boot is broken and it leak. it's still drivable but will steer real hard. can this cause my axle to break?


brand new axle as of 12/03/06.. broke yesterday. piss man..


it even made a small hole in the transmission. heartbroken.


this car dont deserve axle problem.. help!

Isnt that hole in the transmission just the other end of the broken axle. You should be able to pull that out, for the engine tilting, looks like you need new motor mounts.

I think i see the small hole your talking about now, I dont know man

[pig pen]

that strut bar looks mega tilted!

[NYKnick1015]

yea that looks wierd, it should never be like that, definately replace ur motor mounts because worn motor mounts can definately cause other problems where u least expect it IE ur axle

COuld be that or he needs to reshim the mounts if I remember he did an auto-manual conversion on the car.

yeah i did a auto-manual swap. dawg. that axle hit the transmission and did a hole in it. the if u look at the blue part the radiator frame. it's str8 even. match the strut bar i got. but hey. if the motor mount is bringing the engine up making it tilt. why cant i just lower the bolt on the motor mount till the engine is even out??? how do i know the engine is perfectly straight and even? do i meassure or something? this is the second axle. the orgninial broke exactly the same. now the axle broke. lucky i got 1 year warranty so i dont gotta buy another axle. but i dont wanna keep talkin axle out so much i wanna sell it already

hmm, didnt you weld on the new mount bracket? or did you use a prelude mount? if you used the prelude one, did you add shims to the driver side mount?

btw the tool for measuring if something is level is called a "level" - available anywhere.

[defjamon22z]

.... okay i dunno what the hell u talkin bout cpmike i guess that's where my problem is. when u say new mount. are u refering to transmission mount? it's a 97 manual tranmission mount. it's not weld on. i drill and tap the tranny to make it fix. i didnt mess with the motor mount at all except loosen it to bring the engine down so i can slide the transmission out. but hey. the tranny mount the bolt doesnt sit perfectly center. i had to stress the mount in order to get the bolt in but it sit in just fine.

the strut bar is straight.. its the engine thats leaning towards the tranny side!!

well believe it or not its a well known issue that the motor wont sit level and theres potential of breaking axles when using the prelude mount to convert. its also mentioned everywhere that to compensate, you need to add shims/washers to the driver side motor mount.

if you put a piece of wood and a jack under the oil pan ( to hold the motor), remove the main cross bolt out of the front motor mount. you can then remove the driver side mount. stack up 1/2" worth of washers on the stud, as well as on the second hole that the second bolt goes through. then put the moutn back on. the front mount bolt wont go in perfectly, youll have to jack up the front of the motor a bit to get it to line up.

doing this will hold the driver side of the motor a bit lower, so its level, so the axle wont keep breaking...

is your crank pulley rubbing on the side of the engine bay?

[defjamon22z]

ohhh btw i cant even make a hard turn since i installed it underwise it woulda POP out.. and while the axle was fix. when i reverse out of the driveway and make a turn sometimes my steering wheel would feel lose like the power steering is working i dunno if it's slipperage on the axle or wuteva like the distance of the axle from the rotor to the transmission is too long. that the axle cant make sharp turn it would pop out maybe.

[defjamon22z]

i took some picture of the pulley rite now. but i'm having trouble getting on this laptop. i'ma send it thru another computer in the other room. brb.

this is the passenger side where the axle is broken. the radius rod is connect but not similiar like the driver side. i lost the boot since i had to clean up cuz my parent was bitchin i throw everything in the bucket. and also i threw it out last time cuz i thought it was done and perfect the orginial axle broke cuz i never install the radius rod back on.. like i never put the bolt back on it was just sitting in there. i went and bought a shock absorber (spell check) and put it in. tighten it but it went a lil farther down the thread. i guess i need one more shock absorber? i do not wanna go all the way 20 miles to the junkyard again so i just walk 3 blocks to auto discount part for anything that was rubber and fit. here s a picture of the passenger side.

the driver side.. UNTOUCH
