I just had an alignment done, but the guys said he couldn't fix my rear/ left toe because the 14mm slider is across as far as it can go, and also because the rear trailing arm bush won't move any further.

He's right about the slider, the bracket is bent which I'll be able to fix myself.


My questions relates to the RTA bushing: Which way does the RTA bushing need to slide in order to correct +ve toe? I've red a few threads in which people said these don't need to move at all.

At the moment it is hard up against the chassis, so it wont move outwards any more.

 

I don't think the rta bushing moves either... I could be wrong.
other damage?

 

Here is a pic to show what I mean. The holes on the RTA bush shaft are slotted so it can move the arm in and out. At the moment it is as fat left (towards the outside of the car) as possible.

Will moving it inwards increase or decrease the toe? or make no difference?

I can't see any other damage, everything looks straight to me

 

i do alignment at work you cant adjust anything from a bushing on honda/acura only way of ajusting toe is tie rods in front and the condestor arm in rear i never heard about a bushing movement

 

Ok great that's what I was wanting to know. So should I have that bushing sitting in the centre instead of pushed right up against the chassis?

 

that what its suppose to sit in the center

 

Ok I've now been told the RTA bush bolts need to be loosened so that when the compensator arm is adjusted the bush will slide across. Does this sound right?

 

we never do that at work but since u have something bend i guess thats y he moved that and try n see if that also moves toe
