Thread: Axle issues do to suspension anyone?

Axles can be quite hard to get in sometimes. Especially if they aren't OEM. You just need to wail on it a few times with a block of wood and hammer, and it'll pop in. I've had to do that several times since the C-clips on them suck ass, and catch.

It did click in. But for some reason(maybe the springs) although clicked in it still leaves enough if a gap to let the tranny/axle fluid leak.

Yes it can happen, I had to deal with this issue recently. If the axle isn't completely in the tranny even if it appears to be in you still have up to a half inch to go to make a complete connection after it clicks in. You'll know when it's all the way in, no pun intended.

Tomorrow I'm going to Install oem springs and probably post the car on CL. I feel like I have put time effort and money into the car and I'm just not satisfied with her. Maybe if the axle thing is fixed by the oem suspension I may stay with it. But idk. I'll definitely post up the results tomorrow

I honestly cannot believe you are giving up for doing something wrong with your car when the only one to blame is yourself.

If you really want to go ahead. You are missing something special in the B13 though. Put the OEM suspension back in and it will be fine. Then buy Ksports and do it the right way, sir!

I reccommend you get some new axle seals(oem nissan) I bet thats your problem as far as leaks.They may look fine but they tend to harden up over time,and if they arent installed correctly they will leak also...ask me how I know..LOL
They should be flush with the outside of the case,not pushed in all the way,like some people like to do for whatever reason.
Just tryin to help,axle seals are cheap.When the axle is in all the way ,there is a gap,and it seems like it is not in all the way.But if it clicks in,and your seals are good and installed properly,it should not leak for a long time.
Dont give up so easy,like Viperdude said,you are gonna miss out on a great driving experience in a B13.

^^^ This man speaks the truth, word for word.....

I'll order new seals. Ill post pics tomorrow on how the axle looks right now as well as after the oem springs are put on. I hate driving a stock height ride.

I'm not giving up. Just makes me think just a simple 2" drop throws off everything. I honestly want lower than 2"'s. 2"'s rear and maybe 2.5 in front. Just cause I want the car pretty low doesn't make me a "ricer" or "hellaflush"

Honestly for rims I've been looking at the advan gr2's, a set of meister's or if money isnt to on point, polished spoons. I had my dr20's on it with Dunlop direzza's 205/50/15 but rubbed against the rear shock

Well. I did slap on oem springs and that was fail. Didn't change anything. So I ordered a new axle, and SEALs. Will install on by or on Friday.




Pics of the axle not sitting flush and apparently the megan springs weren't the cause of this. :-( I was hopping it was so I can be done w/ this issue

axle need to go in further
