Default *HELP* Rear Toe Issues

I posted this on EF-honda too.

I have a 89 hatch, just completed a DA rear disc swap. Now my rear toe is very negative (sticks out in front) and wanders at higher speeds due to this.

Heres the Facts

1: I used my civic LCA's, UCA's and Toe links
2: trailing arms are off a 2door 90-91 DA
3: I pressed the worn trailing arm bushings for energy suspesion bushings

I did a alignment just now, I brought rear toe in as much as I could, now its LEFT (-.90) and RIGHT (-.055) camber is even side to side (-3.9)

I did notice the DA toe links are much shorter, Do I need to use these and NOT the civic ones? They seem to be about 1" shorter.

I also noticed one of my DA toe sleeves is bent, So Am I using the wrong toe sleeves or are my trailing arms bent?


Has anyone ran into this? Thanks in advance.

I did the same exact swap about a month ago and it aligned perfectly. I did replace my links (toe and camber) with adjustable links.

Thanks for your input guys, was your guy's toe out before the adjustable links were put on? Is this considered normal to have to put adjustable toe links on?

Also, I just did a quick search. I looked at the wicked arms. MSRP is $250, Ksport has them for about $100.

Do I need to get them for a DA or for a EF (adjustable toe arms)

Thanks again

if you have almost negative 4 degrees of camber you wont be able to get your toe correct without aftermarket toe arms
