Hello. I noticed my camber on my drivers side rear wheel is way off, but the passenger side rear looks alright. Where are the adjustment points on the rear suspension? I was under the impression rear camber was non adjustable. Whats throwing me off is the major difference in camber between the two wheels.

97 civic coupe.

 

i dont think is adjustable stock i think you can only adjust the toe i would say get a adjustable camber kit and then get an alignment asap

 

Do the "Washer Trick". I did that on my back tires. I took calipers and measured a bunch of washers and added them up to get them close to the same on each side. If you have to adjust the camber to much you will need longer bolts. Ive been running on that for a year with no issues.

 

But if one side is different then the other something may be bent or broken.

 

I would say this is a do at your own risk. May be fine, could be a potential safety hazzard. Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)

 

**** that ! stop telling people to do hack jobs on their cars that's not the least bit safe considering hardware bolts are not as strong as the proper suspension bolts Honda uses. OP post a pic with the wheel off of the LCA to spindle, camber arm and trailing arm bushing

 

Ill post a pic tomorrow. I have spare rear suspension parts.

 

Haha so you think that honda makes super bolts or something? Look they are grade 10 just like the grade 10 ones I got. You don't go buy p.o.s. Home Depot crap. Just figured fixing one degree of camber wasn worth paying for a camber kit when people have been doin that with washers for a long time.

 

my camber is wayyy off, i think i may have something broken

 

you won't notice -1* of camber even -3* if the car is lowered that comes naturally, OP's is WAY off and something is most likely broken. Sorry not one to take a cheap way out if your idea is so great why isn't everyone doing it...it's called half ***-ing it.

If it was so shitty and half assed a company like ignalls wouldn't sale such a thing or they would be sued so fast. We will just have to agree to disagree. I agree and actual camber kit is better if it's not a piece of crap one. Sorry for thread jacking op I hope you can figure it out.

 

Three quarters of a degree. If it's as visibly off as OP says it is, he needs a LOT more than three quarters of a degree. Stop telling people to apply a bandage to a gaping head wound.

 

My apologies I wasn't telling him to do it after I saw how bad it was. I was just simply telling the other person that if that was is the issue it is an option but obviously it wouldn help I this sitiuation. I should be more clear. I agree with what you his said. My apologies

 

Thanks to all for the replies.

Before I go and buy aftermarket adjustable suspension parts, I would like to make sure there is not something else wrong.

Recently I did a rear disc conversion, and all the parts i used seemed to fit fine and nothing looked bent or damaged. Is it possible I did not adjust something properly when I installed the swap? As we already know, toe is the only adjustable point for the rear tires.

Anyone have any ideas?

Pics:

(this is the drivers side, which has the camber issue)




(this is the passenger side, which seems to be pretty straight) My cat likes to help

 

The rear disc conversion is off a 97 EK

 

was it possible to take a pic of the camber arm,tralling arm bushing, LCA to spindle and toe arm ? I was expecting the wheel to have like -10* of camber or something crazy lol. hard to say without seeing them doesn't matter what the disc conversion is off so long as it's 94-01 integra/92-00 civic

 

thx for the help

 

Hmm the camber arm looks fine that was my firs thought so does the LCA to spindle bushing, while the toe arm controls "toe in/out" the trialling arm bushing being shot can induce some camber. Can you get better pic's of the toe arm and trialling arm bushing those are the last thing's I can think of. Try moving the arm as to have 0* camber see if something moves in/out particularly the LCA to sub frame and RTA-B

 

everything is tight

 

does the wheel spin freely when it is off the ground?
