Thanks. I taught myself. I use Gimp. It's easy and free unlike my experiences with Photoshop.

And I wasn't really trying to get it perfect. Just focusing on the tips. If you've seen my other work you will know I can do way better than this. I didn't even spend 2 minutes doing this chop. lol

Thats good info Civic peeps have had the same issue with axles falling out when doing springs.

We sure did. The axle was supported by just the jack the first time which still let it pop out. Second time I was moving the strut assembly into the control arm and just the wrong twist too far had it out a second time.
Second day we got it seated, tied it with a rope to hold the hub parallel and the jack keep any stress off the axle. With the rope we pulled slightly just to seat the strut correctly and it popped out.
I was reading in the fitforums people having similar issues even after taking all precautions. Makes mebfeel not so inept. lol

Best advice I can give is patience is key if this happens.
If you arent worried about a lease it would be much easier to rip the cv boot clamp off and slide the boot back. You can directly control the axle and see whats going on. Just put some grease back on before putting the boot back and put a new cv boot clamp on and your gold.

I just didnt want to do that and the sound remain. Swap the suspension back call acura take it in then explain the new cv boot clamp if they notice.
