abs axles have a notched sensor ring which will make it so they wont slide into the hub all the way, normally vibrations arent axle issues, id say check the tires, shocks struts etc... and ur alignment may be out of whack. getting all of it checked normally runs 50 bucks for a front end alignment, which is normally the cause of vibrations and shimmying

NO abs axles have a notched sensor ring just before the outter spline, which will interfere if you dont have abs hubs, when i did my swap i used civic ex nuckles and hubs and the abs axles would not work in any way, had to take them back and used 90-91 non abs integra axles for both the zc and b16 its the same with a b18 this is my experience i know 88-89 integra ones will not work they are too short, and i've had no experience with 92+, hope that helps clear up some confusion, good luck

yo what about a abs hub? my wheel bearing was bad and i replaced it with an ABS knuckle hub, and it plugged in ok, but im having issues but from my left side, not the side i replaced. any comments on that?

nope shouldnt be related the only difference is that the abs hub has a notched end to receive the notched abs axle which the sensor reads, don't know the reason why ud have problems with the other side but i guess itd be safe to say that replacing both sides with the same axles/hubs/and nuckles would be the safest and easiest. but ???...
