Camber
Hey all, I have searched, but I am having a hard time finding anything to do with what I'm looking for.
I have a 91 Civic DX sedan and the front wheels lean in. I know it has an obvious camber problem, but I am not sure what the cause is, I have replaced the sway bar bushings, and lower ball joints, I have a camber kit on the way, but it will not 'fix' the problem, only cure the symptom. the drivers side is far worse than the passenger side. All the bushings seem to be fine, and I can not find any play in the upper ball joints (although I am going to replace them anyway.)
If you have any ideas or thoughts please let me know.
Thanks.

Re: Camber
He said it's on the way. Trust me i put the skunk2 camber kit on and it made a night and day difference for my camber problems. Yes make sure you get an alignment to make sure the camber kit is properly in place. Also if your car is lowered that would make the wheels camber.

Re: Camber
Do your front tires look like this?
Notice how the passenger side is leaned in more towards the engine?
You dont "need" a camber kit, they only get in the way and bang **** more than anything else. If anything, your spindles are probably bent, one of them anyway.
Take your car to an alignment shop and ask for a TOE adjustment, thats all that our "double wishbone" suspension needs in order to fix excessive inner tire wear.
Anyone else who says you need to adjust the camber is full of crap.

Re: Camber
You asked if he got the alignment after he put the kit on, but he doesnt have the kit yet.
