New drive shaft / axles wich to get - Honda Prelude Forum

Rasmusm · 07-10-2009, 07:30 AM

Hey

I recently got a 93 prelude 2.2 thing is, when i turn the car to the right, theres some sound from my Ball-joint, no clue if its the right word..

but its only when i turn the car around corners.. So my guess would be that it needs a replace, ofc i can drive it untill it breaks but..

Wich should i get as replace? I found these NEW HONDA PRELUDE M/T & A/T FRONT RIGHT CV AXLE 92 96:eBay Motors (item 120291708902 end time Aug-01-09 16:09:36 PDT)
But not sure if they are any good seems kinda cheap to me.

Stay away from ebay. You can try to find some remanufactured ones locally from NAPA or Autozone, but they may be a crapshoot.

Some reputable companies:

Gator Racing Axles Drag Axles Street Axles

Raxles, America's premier supplier of OE quality CV Axles and CV joints | Raxles.com

Cool man, seems aight. But whats the price for a left and a right one?
Cant find it on those pages

Ah... you're gonna have to give them a call.

go to advance auto parts, $60/ea for new

Rasmusm · 07-10-2009, 12:52 PM

those from advance auto parts, are they any good at that price then?
And btw, im not doing drag race or racing around a track at all its only for normal driving around

Depends... I've gone through several remanufactured axles from Autozone/NAPA. Seem to last about a year and then they crap out... usually some bad vibration coming from the driveline when they do go bad.

If you guy a reman axle, make sure it has a lifetime warranty, so you can just exchange it for a new one (just keep your receipt on hand!)

Talked with Gator Racing Axles Drag Axles Street Axles

They could ship em to Denmark for me for the price of 433$ ofc including the axles

sounds pretty fair doesnt it?

I suggest a visual inspection of the damaged hardware. I did this the other day and saw that both my CV boots split in half. I called a local Honda Dealership and they quoted me $303 in labor charges to change the CV boot alone. That's more expensive than purchasing the axle assemblies and doing the job yourself.

I just ordered re-manufactured OEM parts from Majestic Honda (Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store)

Part numbers: 06443-SS0-507RM and 06444-SS0-507RM

Total (including shipping): $269.22

I probably won't get them for a week or two, but I can send you some photos of them if you want.

Rasmusm · 07-15-2009, 01:43 PM

I've send you an PM

i just went thru advance auto and got my passanger for 75 and driver for 85 brand new no core exchange and with tax out the door... i went with gsp half shafts and ive never had any problem with them on my car or friends cars

Rasmusm · 07-17-2009, 06:46 AM

Kimara: How long time are they holding up if you check the grease frequently ?
I mean a year isnt much imo if thats the case

Still kinda hooked on the gator axles

Rasmusm · 07-21-2009, 01:14 PM

I wonder, gator axles are they off for some holidays this week?

Last i heard from em was last tuesday

kimara3002 · 08-14-2009, 08:10 PM

well so far my friends had is on for 6 years now and going... no problems... you cant check the greese thats the point tho.. there is no reason to unclamp and check the greese... you just replace them when the boots torn and the shaft starts to click

trspurlock2 · 08-20-2009, 05:38 PM

Rasmusm,

I recently purchased both driver and passenger side axles for my 92 prelude Si from autopartswarehouse.com and they had free shipping for me. THESE ARE BRAND NEW OEM PARTS! not reman or after market ebay crap and I spent $182.00 where going to the local parts stores and the local dealer would have cost $181.80 per axel. check them out and see if they can help you.

Rasmusm · 08-21-2009, 10:53 AM

Cool, just got a pair from gator axles - Mytrasher.com – Honda Prelude Gator racing axles

440$ with shipping to denmark, was a cool deal! Prices for oem in denmark are like 900$... I was happy Glenn was able to help me out

Havnt gotten em in the car yet will get em in next week i hope! No more strange clicking when turning the car around corners
