I have a 1989 Honda Accord LXi. I just bought it a week ago. It has a ram air intake, stage 1 racing clutch, performance exhaust, and coilovers. The guy that sold it to me use to abuse this car. He cracked one CV joint. He went and got another CV shaft assembly and replaced it. He drove for about 30 seconds and broke that one. When I purchased the car, I properly installed a new one. While trying to drive up my driveway gently, it broke. It is always breaking the right side axle on the inner CV joint. It blows the roller bearing straight through the wall of the joint. Please help me someone. If you would like to see a picture or would like more information, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you very much.

Thanks everybody for your help. The motor mounts were replaced and the car runs again. The mounts that I removed were all completely destroyed. Now that the car is running, I noticed that the gauges don't light up and there is a whining sound only in 5th gear that changes pitch with rpm changes. But, at least its running again.
