at the front of the trailing arm there is a compensator arm, it is sloted and has a bolt for adjusting rear toe.

if you want i can maybe scan the page from the honda service manual on monday.

if its ugly teal and says civic in big letters and say 1995 honda service manual, then its the same, but i don't think so.

check section 18-5 if it is the same

You are talking about two different problems, toe, and camber. Camber can be corrected with washers used as spacers on the upper link. Toe can be adjusted at the compensator link under the car at the front of the trailing arm. The mount is slotted.

You could use a Smartcamber gauge, too. It's somewhat pricey at $200. But if you ever make any other changes, you won't need to spend the time and money on alignment shops. And you can help friends.

how accuate are those? i had been talking to people on another board about adjusting your own camber, and was talked out of buying the tools for it. the 1 thing mentioned was "you cant eyeball 1/2 degree" and i said to myself, he's right.

however i would like to have my mind changed do you, or anyone else on here do their own alignments?
