I just got back from the Honda Dealer to get an alignment (the car's first).
The Dealer tells me the rear suspension cannot be brought within spec (too much neg. camber / Right Rear side). He says he has to call Honda and get an approval to purchase an after-market part that will allow for an increased camber range that will allow the suspension to be put back into spec..
Have you all ever had this problem?

The Dealer was honest enough to tell me that he has seen this problem before on a few other Civics' of the generation and suspected it was a design / mfg. flaw..

I'd like to hear from anyone who may have experienced this..

Thanks!

Look at the 08's, There is NO neg camber anymore. They fixed the camber arms.

 

so does this mean that the 06-07 civics are flawed?

i HATE the way the NEG camber looks.....

 

I dont think they are flawed, But Honda made a mistake on How much Neg there is. That was the reason for the change..

 

camber kit...and negative camber is a good thing...too much is bad....honda knew what they were doing its just a lil too aggressive for the street, the tires wear faster than normal

 

Honda USA called me yesterday and said they would be replacing the Upper Arms with a new part due out 11/16/07. This would allow the camber to be brought into spec...

Thanks for you help..
