When the new trailing arm is bolted on, is there any sort of alignment that needs to be done? I can't IMAGINE this just being a bolt-on-and-go type of procedure.

Thanks!

 

well it is. some people get a sort of off-balance where they say that the tire sticks out farther but it didnt happen to mine. OOO yeah they use integra LCA use CRX LCA. will anyone agree?

Yup.. the integra setup will push your wheels out further.. could be good or bad depending on how you look at it though. "wider is better" for handling - just ask any girl.

Please get an alignment (I suggest the firestone lifetime one that's good for <u>as long as you own the car</u>) when ever you get suspension work done.

 

Well ****. Here it was I had a lot of work ahead of me. I guess it really is a bolt on, eh?

 

Yeah I didn't have any problems with adjustment/alignment either

 

The Integra trailing arm is 1/4" wider than the civic, making your tire stick out 1/4" more than it would stock. I haven't had a problem in a year and a half with rubbing and I'm lowered 3.25".

There is an adjuster arm that you have to watch out for though. If you look under the car at the opposite end of the trailing arm, you'll see a little bracket used for udjusting the toe in the rear wheels. DO NOT TOUCH IT. Just leave it alone and unbolt the rest of the trailing arm. When you put the disc brakes in, just bolt the new trailing arm up to the adjuster and go.

If you do it right, it can be a bolt on and go procedure.

 

damn am i the only one that didn't touch the suspension parts to swap to rear disc.

 

It was done pretty quick actually

 

Yup, always get an alignment after a job like that.

LOL, just to be on the safe side.

 

I reused my CRX HF trailing arms and just swapped the DA spindles for the HF drums. It is 4 torx bolts and one 24mm nut on each side. Bolts were tight and needed heat. I measured them for width and it seemed like if anything the spindle swap would narrow the rear track a tiny bit.

After all that I checked the alignment and it was still off.

Fact is don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't need aligned after replacing anything dealing with the suspension. Just because someone says their car feels fine doesn't mean that it is fine. Crank that car up to 140mph and you might think twice about it feeling fine.

 

so many replies when me and the second guy had it in first one. hmmm

Nice attitude to have for a guy who asked if anyone agreed with him.

Thats odd, I remember reading just the opposite. Last I heard...

The trailing ars are all the same (except diameter of bushing), but the rear spindles from a Si are wider then a DX or HF. The integra spindles are wider then the Si.


ex voto, some places offer a free alignment check. May want to call around.

Word?

Oof... that adjuster bar... I still have that on the new trailing arms where I ripped 'em off of that CRX. So I guess I should watch out for them, then take it straight to the alignment shop.

Thanks HT!
