Get it alligned, if that doesnt work, skunk 2 makes a nice adjustable upper control arm, or you know, a no name brand camber kit will do the trick.

Skunk2 doesnt make one for EF's. I think ingalls is the only manufacturer of a camber kit for the EF.

But yes, get an alignment and camber kit if its too much for you. New bushings and ball joints will help also.

Just so you know, what you have is called "camber." But like the others said, if an alignment can't adjust them back to straight you may need an Ingall's alignment kit. I recommend IconAutoparts.com for that.

omg that must be negative camber!!!


negatic camber veiwed from the front /---\
positive camber veiwed from the front \---/
positive toe veiwed from the top /---\
negative toe veiwed from the top \---/

negative camber and positive toe produce wear on the inner side of the tire wheres positive camber and negative toe produce wear on the outside of the tire.

that camber doesnt look bad. its good for cornering anyways, just get your toe adjusted a tad bit negative to equal out the odd wear thats going to happen on your vehicle.

in the back you can use washers and longer bolts on the upper control arms.

also, you can raise the car a bit

You will need to get a camber kit if you want them to be back in the middle. Honda's do not have an adjustment for camber from stock so an alignment will not fix it. You can do the longer bolt and washer trick for the rear but you will have to get some kind of camber adjutment for the fronts to get them back to 0.

On 88-89 EFs honda welded in the balljoints..so changing the upper arm would be needed in order to use the Ingalls balljoints. But if you have an earlier honda then no problem.

Also Ingalls does not sell to the consumer, so please visit us at http://www.ICONautoparts.com
and check out our many Ebay sales.
