you seem to know a lot about h22 civics. i own one also, but now a days, i've been realizing that the chassis is the most complicating part, such as, things always going bad right after when you have something fixed, couple months later another bad symptom is always occuring. like right now, my front end of my car shakes pretty bad when i accelerate. it seems like its comming from the driver side area. not sure if its my axles, but they are HASPORT, they aren't even a year old.

if you have any ideas, any ways to keep the shell pretty strong?

uh, idk..., maybe a full tien suspension?

because right now, its my only car to drive and i need to fix the problem asap.

this vid doesn't help much, but if anything looks strange, feel free to tell me.

Quick note for everyone: This post was moved from another thread, hence the quote. Ignore the quote since I don't feel like editing it out.

OP, if it's only when you're in gear and on the gas (meaning it doesn't do it in neutral or during coast-down), I'd say it's most likely an axle. Also, are you lowered at all?

I can guarantee the chassis isn't a problem unless your car has been wrecked. The coilovers won't fix the problem.

yeah its lowed. the gay thing about it that, the springs isn't even all the way to the top or bottom of the shocks/coilovers... dont ask, got it the way it was a while ago. the springs are at least 2 fingers of a gap (only when you jack up the car though). BUT, im probably gona put 90-93 Teggy GSR axle (supposely the best axles to use for h-series swapped eg's) for replacement on my driver side.

well got any ideas for better car maintnence?
