Changing out my inner and outter tie rods.

Issue is that the old ones are so far screwed, there is no way I want to even try to use them as guides.

does anyone have a good factory setting?

I know how to messure Toe and all. But need to have them set good and proper before I get that far to check alignment.

Thanks

come on you mean to tell me no one can anser this?

I have seen so many post of people checking their own alignment but no one can tell me the specs for setting new tie rods inner and outter?

If you have your owners manual it will be in the back of that. Other wise sorry, can't help.

 

Its sad, all these honda owners and no one knows how to find the specs for this. All these DIY's and stuff an I have even seen a few HT's.

This was more of a SEE IF THEY WILL SAY post then I need to know.

WOW now this is what I called messed up.

All these people with Q&A's on the tech side of MODS, Drive-ability, DIO engine and trany.

But a simple Q on specs for tie rods and nothing.


The wheel base changes per car.
but any good shop can give you the factory mesurements for inner and outer tire specs. They also can give you a good starting point.

For replacement of Tie Rods, run the nut half way up the inner tie rod, then install the outer. Then when have the car on the ground run the nut out and spin the rods until you get your wheel base avg on both the front and rear tire marks.
If you feel like it while the car is still in the air find the center of your car and mesure out, do this before removing the orginal ones. Then when you install the new ones, you can get it close that way to start.
If you don't have a way to do your own alignment after this then take it to a shop and have it done. But if you like the DIY way you can make a Toe IN OUT plate and find your degree and adjust it.

To set your camber caster, just just a level and adjust as needed, best camber kit is just some plane washers of your choice, but in different thickness. Kind of like using shim plates.

specs for a good alignment:


LF RF
-.53 -.50
1.61 2.47
0.00 0.00

LR RR
-1.37 -1.54
.04 .04

limits between specs:

front toe 0 +/- 1/16
rear toe, toe in 1/16 +/- 1/16

all camber 0 +/- 1 degree

I don't understand. Are you simply baiting someone to respond because:
A) You just figured this out yourself and want to feel special?
B) Are unsure of your answer?
C) Have no friends who have questions which you can answer?
D) Are testing Honda-Tech members as to the scope of their knowledge in the hopes that you will find the answer of whether or not I should make room in my Favorites Toolbar for a Honda-Tech link.

I'm just curious as to why the question was asked, when you obviously know the answer. That is all.
