To be completely honest, the very first axle I had was a frankenstein axle. Half of the axle was from an f23, and the other half was from an H22 (because I had an H22 IM Shaft, I had to use half of the axle for it to mate to the IM Shaft.) .. For about a month, when I had the first H22 axle, it was 'okay' .. The first day I had it, I already noticed that the axle had started to pull out of it's boot a little bit. After driving on it for some time, the boot started ripping and exposed the bearings on the inside. One day when I was driving, my car started shaking violently .. Like I mean, VIOLENTLY for just a couple seconds, and before I could pull over the axle had snapped and all the bearings flew everywhere. So, I pulled over to a gas station and setup shop. I had a friend take me to a nearby autozone, and bought an H22 axle straight up and installed it. So after the new axle was in, I pulled out of the gas station, and the VERY FIRST left turn I made, the axle was yanked out of the intermediate shaft (the H22 axle is actually roughly an inch shorter than the f23 axle). So I went back, took apart the H axle, and tried to salvage the other half of the F axle that fell apart earlier and got it together with the grease from the new axle and drove home slowly .. very slowly.
H22 swap axles?
