alright I got it all ready to go.. thanks a lot for all the help.. hey this may be a stupid question, but what kind of oil do you run through your crx.. I am running castrol synthetic 5-30 but everyone thinks its a bad idea on an older motor..

royal purple 10w30, 5w30 is like water IMO, I will never run it in this car again.

I am guessing thats a synthetic oil right? yea so I just drove my car and everything seems fine, but something doesnt seem right how the axel fits in between the fork to the hub.. first of all it is touching it and there is a ring were it looks like it was rubbing.. does yours have that problem or can you put like an integra fork on or something? it cant be right and Im wondering if thats why it was spitting lube everywhere.. it looks that way on both sides but seems worse on the drivers side where I just put the new axle in.. I promise that was my last question, hah.. I just dont want to rip it apart again..

sorry I said, " there is a ring where it looks like it was rubbing" I meant it rubbed an actual ring into the axle.. nothing to deep, yet anyway..

yea I am thinkin it may be an alignment issue as well.. Im going to try to get that done today.. my motor sits so far forward in my engine bay the axles actually bend back like 30 degrees from the tranny/engine to the hubs.. oh well I dont want to keep you I really do appreciate the help you guys saved me like $200 today and if there is anything I can help with let me know..
