First off, I'd start by getting rid of those nasty taillights.....if you're interested, I have two sets of OEM taillights for sale. PM me.

As for the axles from Napa....probably as with all things car related, you'll get what you pay for.

I used them in my ek9 w/ a b18b & spray & never had an issue.
Broke an outer joint one my first lap at Gainseville International Raceway coming around a sharp 90degree right hander.
Not worth a damn in my book.

Have run OEM since then and not a single issue.

Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news, but you will have to replace the entire halfshaft. Once they start clicking there is too much play between the joint and the shaft which makes the joint pop in and out of the shaft ( hence the dreaded clicking ). I would go with autozone axles because they come with a lifetime warranty and they use factory honda rebuilt components. Its worth the $60. Hell I work for AutoZone on Gulf to bay in clearwater. Come see me.
