oh for pitys sake what's next how many miles do you have on your paint gee i know how many miles do you have on your headlights or license plate good grief are we running out of ideas here or something

And yes, i know i forgot to punctuate that last post but hey we're all human aren't we now.

If there's one thing honda could learn from gm, it'd be how make and apply cv axles.

Hey Niteowl - If you aren't interested in a thread don't participate!

Personally, I like having ballpark ideas of when I am going to need to replace parts.

hey old wolf rather than telling me to not participate in a thread if i am not interested why don't you just pi$$ off instead

Does anyone else detect and hint of downs?

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

I dont know if its that so much as the kind of drivers they have... I had an 84 Honda Accord, and as far as i can tell, original axles at 242k miles, while my old 94 Sunbird's lasted about 140k (course that was my fault). My 98 Sunfire as original axles, 92k miles and going strong.

197k miles, then repacked them and replaced the boots and now approaching 219k.

umm, I have 238 000kms on mine

224kms on mine and i do beat on my car aswell

279 000 kms no problem except for 3 wheel bearings

My brother's first car was an 89 cav, He beat the sh*t out of it and his lasted 349,000 miles til the engine threw a rod.

^^^ That is remarkable!

I got 280,000 miles on my axles and I beat the crap out of them, original motor, second tranny @ 230,000

I got the car (96'cavy 2.2L ) at 180,000kms it now stands at 421,000km shes puffin but I'll still get er to 500.000 even if i push it there honda that baby!

198k miles on origonal build and factory bearings but those get repacked every 50k miles. have factory water pump too but replaced starter twice, alternator once and had to have all the brakes turned and new pads recently. This pushrod 2.2 is awesome except for the loud ass timing chain that is gonna be replaced soon.

How do you repack the sealed bearings? How do you tune the factory brakes? just wondering...

220,000 on the factory set of axles, about 6 pairs of bearings, and on the second motor.

Hey Jimmaaaay - That is quite remarkable!

Not tuned, Turned. They find the deepest groove or pit in the rotor and cut everything above that point off to make it flat again. As long as you don't exceed the minimum thickness your good to go and don't have to buy new rotors and drums. 5 bucks each and the're just like new.

Sorry about the bearings i've replaced them once on this car. My tracker is the one that gets them repacked.
