Hey mate if you're looking for something new you might aswell get some aftermarket driveshafts, good comapnys like dss make them. I highly doubt you'll be able to break these, because they are alot stronger then oem. These driveshafts are also good for when you are increasing the horsepower or doing force induction. Heres some websites you can buy them from..

driveshaft spaces also help

[AusS2000]

Driveshaft spacers are not really relevant to this issue. They are for if you have wear in your CV so you move the contact point to another area inside your CV. Doesn't actually resolve any issue although it will make the symptoms go away for a while.

And it certainly won't stop you breaking a CV.

Hi drifter,

How did you go with you new replacements? which brand did you go with?

[drifter]

hey

I didn't go with the new replacement because it cost too much from Honda and i cant be stuff waiting 6-7 weeks for it .So i went with the 2nd hand and paid $500 (one drive shaft only) for it.
