On my last alignment the front left wheel measured a -0.3 caster with a specified range of 0.5 to 2.5 degrees. And the front right side was at 1.3 degrees. So I need to adjust my left side +1.6 degrees to match the right side.

I looked under my car, and on the drivers side the crossmember was hit and bent. Getting a new crossmember wont' help because where it mounts to the unibody it's a little bit tweaked...so i'm kinda suck with that messud up crossmember. But I would still like to fix my caster.

Is there a way to adjust my caster through the radius arm?? I see that the radius arm goes through the crossmember and some kind of bushing. Could I put some washers on one side of the radius arm where it mounts to the crossmember? Is there some kind of different radius arm that I could put on thats shorter or longer? Or is there some kind of caster kit out there for my '92 teg.

Thanks

 

use 86-89 accord rods redrilled the holes

im doing it as we speak

 

Cool let me know how it works out. Are you re-drilling them because they dont fit? Or are you doing that to get some positive caster? Any details would be great.

Thanks

 

Just take the radius rod to a machine shop & have them machine the threads a couple inches further up the arm. Then use double locking nuts (like on top of a Koni shock) to adjust the spot that the bushings & washers press up against. I have the same problem on my CRX & my mechanic explained this would be the simplest & most effective way to adjust caster...

Your idea of simply adding washers between the bushings & the radius arm will only work if your trying to reduce caster (push the LCA towards the rear of the car).
