and about the part where the transmission is connected to the core support, should i take that off if i dont want my car to shake, cause at lower rpms is SHAKES like no other. was there suppost to be a front tranny mount?

and ill post apic of my vacuum lines to see if something is wrong.

thanksss.
If it has been ripped for a while the bearings have probably gotten dirty and are starting to rub on each other. If the bearings are damaged then replace the whole axle, if not then just the boot. You can get axles from pep boys for $60 and they have a lifetime warranty.

ok the boot was ripped and the guy just tried to tell me it was only the wheel bearing. the wheel had hella slack in it when i jacked it up. i took everything off and hears a pic

how do i fix this? and when i do replace it, do i get a 91 civic one? or a 93 integra one? and also the axel needs to be replaced, which one do i buy for that (b18a1) in 91 DX. and the vacuum lines i need some help with. heres a pic

one more thing. about that wheel hop stuff and how this guy welded some angle iron on the tranny to the chasis, should i take that off? do you think it will stop the vibrations of my car? i thought the engine is supposed to have a little moving room?

yeah the motor mounts have rubber in them to absorbe the vibration of the engine so by welding the tranny to the frame, the vibration is transferred to the frame.
