I went to the alignment shop today to get my Integra done because my tires in the rear are wearing pretty bad. The result was; passenger side has -3.23 camber a .50 toe and the driver side was -2.80 camber and .30 toe. He said that he could fix the toe, but not the camber and i do understand that toe is what eats tires mostly.. I didn't want to pay for a full alignment only to get the toe fixed, this is a second car and i can just park it. I am on stock suspension and the guy recommended that i get a rear chamber kit. I don't really want to half *** it, i would like to figure out if something is bent in the rear suspension. Any ideas on what is bent would help. RTA, lca, rear sub-frame, frame...ect. Thanks.

 

If you have that much camber, you either do NOT have the stock suspension, or the car has been in a truly horrendous wreck in the past.

A "full alignment" on an Integra is just setting the toe, front and rear. Nothing else is done, because that is all that is adjustable stock.

 

i do have stock suspension

 

There isn't really anything that could bend in the back and create that much negative camber.

If you bent the LCAs, camber would go more positive.
If you bent the trailing arms, toe would be screwed up, but camber wouldn't change much, if at all.

Ignoring camber, that much toe will destroy tires quickly.

Take a picture of the rear of the car, suspension loaded, so we can see the fender gap. Take another of the rear suspension with the car in the air and wheel removed, so we can see the components. Maybe someone can help from there.

If I owned it, and was 100% certain the suspension was stock, I would dump the chassis or part it out, but certainly wouldn't even consider driving it (much less allowing someone else to get into it). Just my personal opinion.

 

How in the world is that possible?
Do you have a massive stereo?

 

Something caused the upper arm or where the upper arm bolts to the shock tower to bend or otherwise get damaged. It's not that far fetched. But it's definitely a problem that likely needs close inspection of suspension components and probably some time on a frame machine.

 

Thanks for the input. Monday i'm going to take it to acura.

 

thanks for the info guys...took my car over to Acura a few weeks ago and the right side RTA and upper arm where bent. Got them replaced car is good as new.
