Well see soon I will be swapping a H22 in my car, but right now I have a front driver side axle knocking, so I was thinking ahead of the game to see if I could just replace it with a Prelude Axles... When I swap the motor im going to have prelude si (H23) Tranny...-Chris

The Accord axles will work, but the Accord intermediate shaft is considerably weaker than the Prelude. I recomend that if Drag racing or hard launches are in you future after doing the swap, I would use this following combo: Use the Prelude intermediate shaft with the Prelude inner CV (female) joint combined with the Accord Shaft and Accord outer CV joint. Do not use a complete Prelude axle, it is slightly too long and will bind up. The axles are relatively easy to take apart and reasemble to get this new "custom" combo.

The metal that the Accord intermediate shaft is considerably more "brittle" than the Prelude counter part. Trust me... I have ripped 4 accord intermediate shafts apart not including countless axles. It is a pain to get the remaining portion of the intermediate shaft out of the differential when it happens.
