Default Rear Disc STICKS out and is not straight WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??

I recent did a rear disc and it seem that the wheels in the rear sticks out more and is not riding straight. I am using blox conrol arms with 90 integra rear disc from the trailing arm to the toe adjuster. The wheel looks as i need a longer toe adjuster because it sticks in and its riding narrow alitte bit. WILL THE SPC TOE ADJUSTER HELP ?

That is your problem. You need to use your Civic "toe adjuster" (Compensator Arm) all you are using from the Integra is the trailing arm and disc brakes.

if its not riding straight and might feel wobbly check your rear trailing arm bushings also they might be shot. check to see if they are torn and dry rotted

You should not have used any other arms from the Integra other than the trailing arm. If you used the Integra toe compensator arm, that is your problem. Swap the Civic arm back on and get the car aligned.

If you did not swap any other arms except the trailing arms, then you have a bent trailing arm. You will need to swap the disc hub assemblies onto the Civic trailing arms, and install those instead.

Will this cause new tires to wear in like 3 moths?

An improper toe setting will chew up tires very quickly regardless of ride height, in addition to causing erratic handling.

thanks guys so, my rear disc came with the toe adjuster and thought it would be fine to use the integra one but now i have to go back to the junkyard and look for the civic toe adjuster. Another question is that when i do fix the adjuster would my rim still stick out just alittle ?? i read some threads and they said DA rear disc sticks out alitle bit.
