axle shaft ?

[buzzbomber88lx]

hey guys I might be able to trade an 89 beretta for an accord hatchie. the problem is that the guy put new cv shafts on and the pass. side falls out. i did a search to try finding this and it turned up nothing. any of you guys experienced this and how could i fix this?? I would really like to get this car so I can have another 3g :werd: :cheers:

missing locking clip in the tranny maybe?????????

[shepherd79]

probably all you have to do is shove it harder and it will fit. it should be tight all the way to the tranny. there should be no major gaps.

The nut that holds the outer shaft to the hub assembly was probably not tightened down enough. You can pick up a new one for a couple of bucks.

well does it fall out the tranny side or out of the hub?

[AccordEpicenter]

it might not have the clip or the clip might be stuck inside the tranny.

I'm not sure. The new shafts were put in by a liscensed honda tech. the guy has had them put in several times. I'm sure it's somthing simple but I'm not gonna tell him hehe I want the car!!!

[Justin86]

Its has to be pretty simpile cause it is either the clip or the nut. But its weird how it fall out with the supension all together. Maybe it just falls out half way?

[chriskatana]

if it falls out then it;s probably the wrong shaft... (too short) there is no way that axle should be able to come out if it is the correct part.

[buzzbomber88lx]

it is the correct part. he bought them as a set from honda and the drivers side goes in and has stayed in but the pass side will stay in and then fall out. I will see when I get it and give you guys more info on it because I dont think I know all the info yet.
