My LF tire is set back almost an inch compared to the RF (And compared to my other civics & friends cars) The cross member is in the right spot, nothing is bent that I can see. I did a very careful inspection of the entire front end and found nothing. The bushings looked good, (the car has low mileage). The previous owner told me he had to change one of the knuckles because he couldn't get the CV shaft out of it (What a *****) and he said he got it from a 88-91 crx. This is the only thing I can think of that is causing the problem. Does the CRX have different knuckles? There's LH3 L stamped on it, don't know if the stock one said that. And oddly enough the CV has an ABS tone ring on it. Very strange. So I guess my question is does the CRX have a different knuckle?

 

is it possible the knuckle is from a Del Sol, which many places call a CRX?

If so, that would have ABS and explain it all.

 

CRX and civic would be the same knuckle. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/how-distinguish-knuckle-2052882/

stock knuckle would be stamped LH3-H. *NOT* LH3-L. i have no idea what LH3-L would be.

are you misreading it?

also take a look at the upper A arms. make sure they are correct and mounted correctly. they are not symmetrical and not interchangeable with other cars.

the CV axle with the abs ring is just standard cheap axle replacement. typical for sub par type of work.

 

Yup I'm blind. It says LH3 H. The control arms are new and from Honda, just double checked and they are in the right sides. There are wrecker markings on the disc shield saying 88-91 so I know it's not from a delsol. Radius rod is fine bushings are fine. Pretty stumped

 

did you take your radius rods out and measure them against each other?
