Greatings on this beautiful easter sunday everyone

I recently started having the oh so common problem of the axle nut coming loose. Retightened it down to 181 per spec, happened again, 225lbs via updated TSB.
Two days ago, axle nut started making noise again, pulled out my torque wrench and went to tighten it, Twisted straight off in my hand.

The threaded peice where the axle nut screws on broke off. (driver's side by the way)

Pretty sure I need a new axle, but I'm not an expert at this can anyone tell me what parts I need and where to get them? I can't find the driver's side anywhere.


While I'm doing this I'm also replacing my wheel bearings, both axles, and nuts for each side, all of them are on order besides the axles, I can't find the driver's side to save my life! If anyone could give me a hand that would be awesome.

Thank you! David

have you try oem parts webside? like hondapartscheap.com

the only thing from my knowlege that could break the threads is over toque., i could be a bad axle but i doub it.

The wheel bearing, you need to press it out, it will not just fall off. and sometime when you press it out, it will score the hub too. I wouldnt touch the bearing unless its making noise. There's no reason why you should replace the other axle, they usually last the life of the car( if u not lowered and keep greasing the CV)

If i were you, i would just replace the parts that needs to be replaced. save money and reduces risk of breaking other thing along.

I think you need #4 in the list, plus whatever else you are replacing.

Or actually, if you only broke the outside threads #6 is all you need.
