8mm = .31 inches. It's within the normal variation for engine mount movement, so I don't see a problem with it.

The one issue that could arise is with suspension travel, but that's not likely either.

Axles tend to have 1" or more of movement in both directions at both ends from center, so there's alot of "wiggle room" in them.

Make sure you check/replace the front suspension bushings on the Civic, though, becuase if you don't, you'll ruin axles on a weekly basis. Ask me how I know... LOL.

The axles that I have that are new in the box are the 5th warranty replacement before I could figure out what the problem was.
