the rear wheel gaps on my 90 crx dx are different. check it:
ive got 3 fingers on driver side, whole hand on the passenger side.

driverside:


passenger side:



just got this crx....dont know much about suspension...this is my 3rd crx and this is the first time ive seen this.....anyone got any ideas?

thanks

ps. i dont really like the wheels so dont pick....

 

did u ask before u bought it?? was it in any accident?? clean title?? how are the condition of the shocks??

 

clean title, i didnt even notice till i was swapping in my b16a.... i dont know about the shocks... is there a way to tell without taking them off

 

wouldn't the springs be the problem not the shocks? Maybe i'm wrong...measure the height of each spring though and compare.

 

probably worn out shocks...also take off that black molding...it causes rust...

 

I'm sure a fresh set of springs/shocks will remedy the problem.

Nice clean fenders by the way Not a speck of rust. I'd love to find a clean CRX, but that is pretty much impossible in Ohio.

 

Just want to chime in and say that I also have uneven wheel gap in the rear. My 1990 Civic Si has less gap on the driver's side than the passenger side. I did the "finger" test and it's almost identical to your's: three on the driver's side, 5 (my whole hand) on the other. The difference is even noticeable if you look at the car from behind when it's on level ground.

I figured the gap on mine was because the car is still 100% stock and the shocks/springs have never been changed. Also, I know that the wife of the guy I bought the car from also drove the car, and well since she's a little "plump" in the rear....well maybe that explains it.

 

i have a 95 prelude srv and my gap on the driver side is smaller than the passenger side as well... i think the weight bias is due to jdm right hand drive (weight of the driver would even things out a little)... well, maybe get someone to sit in your passenger seat and check the gaps again?

Yah I also had this problem before I swapped over to my H&R springs. I guess its from the years and years of always having weight on the driver's side. I mean for all of the car's life, it always has a driver but not always a passenger. So there you go...change the springs and see if that helps.

 

replace the shocks/springs and it will cure your problem, all 6 of the crx/ef's ive had and my gf's g2 integ had the same problem, worn out shocks.

 

This is a common problem on CRX's there have been people that have the un-even gap even AFTER they change out their shocks and springs. Might have something to do with your bushings as well?? I will soon find out if I have the problem also once I replace my springs/shocks and bushings.

 

I noticed my problem after installing my H&R springs with tokico blues.

All 4 corners sit differently. I cant quite figure it out. The only thing I think it could be would be the bushings. Guess I need to replace them all and find out
