Default question about axles

i need new axles for my hatch because the boots on both of them are busted completely thru. i found someone that has axles for a d15b7 (in a del sol) that he'd sell me for 45 bucks, but i dont know if they'd fit.

anyone know? we're putting a d15b2 in my car (was d15b1). i don't know much about sohc stuff yet, help a brother out!

they may work...since you are moving from the civic std (70hp model 4spd manual) to the civic dx engine, you will have to swap knuckles b/c it had the weaker axles with smaller hub splines (just like the crx hf models)

i'd suggest getting some rebuilt axles for the new engine/drivetrain from a autoparts store...they are pretty cheap when you bring in your old axles (give them the old std's b/c you won't need them anymore)

Blakes '90 is a DX, if yours is STD you will have to do like stated above and get DX or Si knuckles, or preferably EX Sedan knuckles because they had big brakes also.

You can find some DX knuckles in a junkyard for next to nothing I would say. There isn't much to taking them off the car. Don't get discouraged.

i think he means the assembly that houses the ball joints, rotor, and wheel studs.
