axle head aches

[Night Wolf]

yup one of the many head aches this new rides given me


so I put on the CV axles from my CB9 on my CE1 yesterday. they were new, about 2 months old when I wrecked the CB9. but sence that day I kept busting the inner joint on the right (passenger) CV axle. Ive went through 3 axles today. 2 of which I had to change in a retail parking lot. all of which are CB axles.


so my question is is the 4th gen axle the same as the 5th gen?

cuz I looked at the auto zone website & it has different part numbers for the 93 MT EX right axle & the 95 EX MT right axle

I know the brakes are prob. the same wagon brakes right? but the transmissions might be diff. If the part numbers are diff. then it has to be diff. Try looking it up on Majestic and see if Honda ones are the same part number. Autozone isn't too reliable compared to Honda I'd think.

they are definitely different lengths, of course they are breaking. CB axles will be too short, so they might work as long as you dont steer at all... lol

ok if the part number is different and u bought 2 new ones and 1 was new from the cb and that one failed. so the other 2 times y didnt u buy ones for the 5th gen wagon>? use the right part and u wont have a headache

Yeh the 5th gens are definately longer 1/2 to and inch or so longer. You'll notice that when you are tightening a 4th gen axle on a 5 gen tranny, it will pull the joint until its almost ot totally out.

damn well I ordered a 5th gen one. Ill have to pic it up tomarrow. I hope this will solve the problem. on the good side, this means Ill have 2 new CB axles forsale soon lol

ok question.

why would you not just use a 5th gen axle?
instead of buying a bunch of ones that dont work?

[GenDBlade]

is one perhaps a driverside axle? cause i need.

I didnt buy a bunch. I had a bunch left over

& 2 of them were new ones I had on the CB9 for about 1 month only. so I used it


& heres a pic. the 5th gen is on the left, the 4th gen on the right...
