92 hatch rear suspension problems
Just put rear disk on my car, and it's totally out of alignment. The car is a 92 cx hatch with rear trailing arms off of a 93 integra. i put new lca's on for a 94 integra. i was under the impression that all these parts were interchangeable, but now i've got -2 toe on the left rear tire with the toe adjuster maxed out, and ive got +2 and -2 on the left and right rears respectively. it doesn't appear that there are any bent or deformed components. anyone have any experience with this?
even if i get adjustable rear upper arms, i've got the toe problem to deal with. this is my daily driver and i'm gonna need it streetable asap. help me out guys

there is an end link at the front of the arm from the factory to adjust rear toe.
when you swap in different trailing arms this needs to be adjusted by an alignment shop.
if that doesn't solve it you may have bent a trailing arm or two.

it ended up being a bent rear toe link.
you couldn't really tell unless you took it out of the trailing arm, but the left toe bar was tweaked enough to throw the whole rear end out of alignment.
i still have no explanation for why the camber was so messed up, but for now it is fixed.
ended up making a trip to summit today and picking up adjustable rear toe links and adjustable upper control arms, so the cx is back on the road. i still have to get it aligned at a shop with with somewhat modern alignment equipment (my shop hasn't done alignments for nearly twenty years, and i don't even know if we have a rack that will work with the pile of "alignment plates" in the back of the stockroom)
im still kind of wondering what happened with the camber being totally out, but at this point i'm just glad im not driving a shitty malibu loaner anymore.
