Hi guys,
I have got a Civic EF9(JDM B16A) and my CV joint is start clicking when i turn to corner,

but when i start to replace the drive shaft from a CRX, it was too long than the one i got in the EF9, I have tried to find brand new one at Repco and other stores, but no chance to find one for EF9, so what sould i do now?? Is there any model that will fit or got the same length of EF9??


Thanks for your time guys n really hope someone can help me solving this problem

if you can wait for shipping check out www.swapshopracing.com pretty cheap and can even get stronger aftermarket units for a bit more $$

otherwise locally i'm not sure what is similar, our cars share a lot parts with DA integras might be worth a quick google to see if they are the right length and teeth.

too long by how much?
you can try remove replace the joint only, keep your ef9 shaft.
spline size should be the same im guessing
