Ok, heres the story.

I bought an 00 integra ls last month. I wanted to improve the suspension, it was squeaky and had ebay springs.. anyways, I bought new lca's cause the old ones had torn bushings, skunk2 coilovers, new rear compensator arms, blox front and rear camber it.. wheels with almost new tires.

I noticed when i replaced the 14" steels with the larger diameter wheels (16's) that i appeared to have positive camber in the rear drivers side. my wheel seemed to sit outward. when I made right turns, my tire would rub on my quarter panel.

I got all those parts on and got an alignment. Heres the print out above.

My wheel sticks out on that side. everything is new in the rear besides the rear trailing arm.
When it comes to suspensions, im near clueless. My rear drivers side wheel sticks out about a third of an inch more than the passenger side. I get a slight humming when i drive 70+ mph from that wheel.


Any ideas what my problem could be?

Also, I bought 94-01 rta bushings for my rtas.. they were too small. So i assumed I had 90-93 integra trailing arms on my car. bought larger diameter bushings thinking it was those. nope, still too small, but less too small than the 94-01. Weird.

i want to have a near perfect suspension with everything in excellent condition before winter because it will be too cold to mess with that stuff myself.

thanks

 

Did u make sure to knock out the metal sleeve on the old bushings? The rubber part is not the only part that needs to be taken out. I would double check this first. If u did it correct, then i have no idea what kind of arms u have. After replacing the bushings correctly and the toe is still bad. Then u have a bent trailing arm.

 

Where did u go for ur aligment, I'm looking for a place where the techs kno how to drive stick and have aligment machines for lowered cars

 

yes, i did do that. I used a bushing extractor tool specific for honda and acura. Took the old one out, both sizes of new ones slid right through. puzzling. I suppose my rta is bent. ill try too source another. thanks for the help!


i went to belle tire. i installed the rear camber kit myself and they did half of the front. I got pissed off and had them finish the other side for me lol.

 

ordered some used trailing arms from an auto recycler. Im gonna refinish them and put them on next week. hopefully my problem will be solved
