Went to the alignment shop the other day to have my settings checked.
1991 Honda Accord EX

Dr. Side 0.19+
Ps. Side 1.29-

all new parts with Energy Suspention bushings. New tie rods inner and outer. New upper control arms, lower ball joints, radious arm bushings, lower control arm bushings.

Put the radious arms at 33 ft. lbs. for the adjuster nut, all the settings seem to be at the factory torq specs.

but for some reason my passenger side is off by 1.29-

What is the best way to fix this?

Thanks


Oh did a search all over and could not find it.

 

All other things being equal (everything else has checked good before u posted), it's possible that the unibody is 'tweeked' from a prior side impact. Obviously, your alignment shop gave you the "no adjustment possible". Which while true, really isn't.
Short of yanking the body with a Guidechart alignment fixture, <U>offset bushing kits </U>are the way to go. (do a Google search) They come in 1/2 degree incriments and have also found use when the suspensions' been lowered.
Your -1.29 degree is the worst and indicates the wheel tips in on the top. Great for high speed left hand turns but hell on your tire.
You're looking for as close as 0/0 on both sides straight ahead. This will ensure the biggest contact patch, the longest wear and equal turning performance in both directions

 

Yea, but the body was on a frame alignment machine (got it back about 10 min ago) and it is all straight. Did a car fax report and never been in a crash (or reported one that is)

So with this and the fact that there are all new parts. Only thing I can think of that would do this is if the inner fender bushings where the upper control arm mounts, had been damaged or twisted in some way before I got it.

Maybe due to the same mechanic that left out parts when they did engine work on it before I got the car. As the pass. side does seem to look off when you look at it. but with all new parts there is no answer to why.

Driver side is just right, but the pass side seems to lean somewhat. Might be due to the coil spring as those are not new.

Going to have to check the inner fendor and see if that mounting area has any damage to that. Then see what I can do to correct that spot.

 

just for the hell of it i would have another shop do the alighnment and compare maybe their machine is off on the right head have seen it happen before ..even alignemt machines need to be calibrated periodically ,,,another idea double chk the rear cross member make sure it is not bent
