Can an intermediate shaft click/Go bad?
I seem to be having a problem with axles since September.
I have replaced both driver and passenger side axles more then twice, and it seems I still have a bad click.

I'm running out of options and parts to replace.

I just had the pass. side replaced two weeks ago and the drivers side (4th one) has less then 20 miles on it.
can you believe that bitch is clicking yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It started clicking only in left hand turns, Now It's clicking in the straight away too.

What the hell could the problem be?

I've seen thousands of Hondas lower then mine...and they still don't have the problems I'm having.

Engine Mounts---Good
Axles bent---None
Bushings---Still Stiff
Never been in an accident, So nothing is out of whack.
Brand new tires on 15' wheels.

What am I missing here?

Can someone please help me figure this out before the Si get's driven off of the side of a bridge.
This shit is getting me highly pissed

you can get another inter. shaft at most junk yards for $50 ,no to much to try it out also could be to low or location of motor after swap

rangcrx

orrrrrrr you can order a brand new bearing for 40bucks and easy to install

crazyhatch

yeah but you can resell the junk yard part if it does not fix it cant take back the bearing

WHEEL BEARINGS

um... clicking isn't just axles if your wheel bearings went out...which most do when you drop your car... then when it gets bad it will click, go up to your rim and try to move it, if you can, change out that wheel bearing quickly!

i had the same exact problem on my lowered sol, at first it was light and only when i was turning so i swore it was axles....but i let it go until it started doing it straight....then i took it to a shop where they replaced my wheel bearings and charged me 200 bucks change them out yourself and be much happy for getting it done....then be upset for spending so much money on axles


EDIT: also i let it go so long that if i had driven for a few more days my wheel would have defidently come off..... and that would suck becuase that is a road side fix...a tow truck will not move a car with no wheel on it. AND they are different clicking sound....i have had both sounds so i can tell the difference. the clicking that you should be hearing should be similar to leaving one the the lug nuts on yours tires lightly unbolted.

Sorry I haven't replied lately, I've been down with the flu since wednesday afternoon, 103 degree fevers suck!!!!!!!!!!

You mean Napa axles.....That is what I have been working with since September, They all go back...get tested...and are broken.

Your right Adam!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll start looking into that this weekend while I replace number four axle on the drivers side

I think your right!
You have more experiance at this then I do, Let me know when you can ride up to the Hill (maybe this Saturday?) and we can go about tearing into the problem.

I'll call Kris later this evening and get with you
