well i believe its the alignment but when i brake, my steering wheel turns left or right (happens on certain occasions) but the wheel is still straight. i recently changed from 13" to 14" and my car isn't that low and there is no camber (from the looks of it) and i'm running on tokico blues + neuspeed springs. but when i brake the steering wheel just goes crazy yet the wheels are still straight. i'm about to get an alignment soon for 95$ but just wondering what the problem might be so i wouldn't have to waste money for alignments

 

Hmm, $95 for an alignment? The local Sears around here will do it for $60 and that includes free alignments for the next 6 months or 6,000 miles.

my sears said there was no warranty since its lowered and they didnt even attempt to do camber because again it was lowered. call around and find a place that specializes in lowered or modified suspension

 

well my car isn't that low its about 4" off the guy maybe even more. its a good height not to low or not to high but maybe i'll go check out sears.

 

Usually, when the car pulls to one side when braking, one caliper isn't clamping as hard as the other. Might be needing a rebuild.

 

before you do alignment try to bleed your brakes per the manual. It will help a lot. My car use to do that. 98ctr

 

Check to see that your calipers go back, check and make sure your sliders are free, bleed the brakes as per honda instructions. Also check tie rod ends and ball joints for play.

 

sounds like a braking problem to me, check to make sure you have even pad wear on each side. also check to make sure the rotors are not warped.

 

It is unlikely the the brakes are causing this problem. Check the tie rod ends and ball joints. They tend to shift when braking. I had the identical problem and tie rod ends fixed the problem. BTW get a good alignment after replacing them.

They didn't attempt to do camber because camber is not adjustable on a Honda with double wishbone suspension.

Unless you buy an adjustable camber kit for it, of course . . .
