so i recently traded my teg for a single cam 96 ex civic coupe. the kid told me the car was hit before and it does have a reconstructed title, but the car seems mint and doesnt appear to have any frame damage etc.

anyways, i ended up noticing terrible negative camber on the right rear wheel. the cars pretty low and the other wheels have some camber but its obviously much worst. i replaced the lower control arm and no change.

i searched and found someone had said there knuckle/spindle was bent and that caused this problem. can anyone confirm this? do you think this just was never repaired after the car was hit? also, will this get worst and worst and be dangerous to drive like this? any input about bent knuckle/spindle or other input on the subject is greatly appreciated.

 

did you get alignment?

 

Right rear wheel? Check the trailing arm and UCA for straightness. There isn't really a "knuckle" in the back, but either (or both) of those 2 parts being bent could cause camber changes. A bent LCA would probably reduce camber if anything, so it probably isn't that.

 

get an alignment. check measurements. if its all good after, then youre all good. get a new set of tires too.

 

 

look at the upper controle arm compare to the other side

 

thanks everyone im gonna check out the upper control arm and see if everything looks good. i hope its not the rear trailing arm aha.

 

take the wheel off and inspect. make sure upper and lower control arms are good.
