ummmm im not sure what year model... he told me the accord before the euro.... so i dunno what model that was but i can ask him =D

I recently had my Mechanic to take mine apart and have a look at it and yep my RHS Housing has pit marks. Now i just gotta hunt around for a new one.
Braxta can you ask your guy exactly which housing off which car he got it from, so i'm able to get the same done to mine.
-
yeah im keen on this info too, also there are a lot of TSX driveshafts for $150-300. Tempted to just get a decent spec one of them and throw in another couple hundred to get it fitted.
EDIT: i called honda dealer and they said they wanted to replace whole D/s assembly which is $900-1200. im struggling to find anywhere that even wants to touch the car...
-
i went to honda mechanic and they found my right inner cv joint was stuffed. they replaced with a second hand one from wreckers for 275 and gave me 6 months warranty.
-
Just remember with the replacements there are jap ones then the shitty chinese ones... you know which you should get lol

BraXta - i was just wondering i came across this link on ebay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-CV-JO...item336639d1fc
Can i purchase this? im under the impression that the cv shaft is another name for driveshaft.
-
all i had changed was the big brown housing on the right of the 2 shafts.
u could get them but it would be a waste depending on what actual problem is. see mine was the housing but ive heard a few saying the actual shaft.
just get it checked and see what the CV joint guy sez
-
i have got it checked twice earlier in the year.
Carl from CRS automotive had said with my situation there is excess clearance in the slip joints. he deemed it to be a manufacturer fault which i could not do anything about as i bought the car 2nd hand and already clocked up 150xxx kms
When i purchased the car, for a peace of mind i litterally said to Astoria honda (my family's honda dealership): "anything you find, REPLACE IT i dont care what the costs get up to" i told them also i insisted on getting the transmission fluid changed although it was already changed at 120xxx kms. and they found out to be the 'driveshafts to be worn, replace drive shafts'. written on the service reciept
For brand new shafts - Honda dealership charging me 2k inc labour. they had SOO much trouble they said sourcing out non genuine ones >_> so they then could only offer me the genuine ones blah and their 2k.
I would be saving ALOT of money this way. either way. But these shafts are made from china parts so im a bit iffy on this ebay seller. although his stated that it meets these blah blah blah standards. Im going to look into this.

Thank you for confirming that these ''cv shafts'' are Driveshafts. Im guessing driveshafts are the 'slang' if that makes sense. I hope im correct.

well on my euro the guy that did it got me the Accord previous to the euro....and they are more stronger and reliable (Japanese ones) and ive been happy since...
-
im having this problem now as well. feels like the car is gonna fall apart. i havent heard of this happening to any other k series car (ep3 dc5). so im assuming that the housing from those cars would fit the euro. can any1 confirm this? or can sme1 find out the diameter from the euro splines to compare to other models so we can all work out an easy fix for the problem, seeing that its not just a odd few its happened to.
-
Just got this done for my euro today. Finally no more shaking!!
Snapped up a pair of secondhand 2000 accord (manual) drive shafts from the wreckers.
Mechanic played mix n match with the euro shafts.

Can now say honda dealerships are a joke! I managed to source our a pair of brand new cv shafts, with 1 year warranty as well. Where as they tried to find me a non-geniune pair of driveshafts, and failed so they could only allow to do the job using their oem shafts. No thanks!
as above, used this website http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-CV-JO...d=255142391840
Recommend that listing for driveshafts. Cant go wrong!
now my car delivers its torque so much smoother, cant help but keep going over the limit by a little bitt
