did rear dics swap on my SM 93 civic.

Despite haveing a blow booster, and problematic upper rear control arms. the car brakes verys well now and much better then it did with the drum setup (most probably due to bas pistons), and the pedal is very very firm with they use a and 96 Accord booster and a new 15./16th MC that or just the feel from the stock civic calipers on a 15/16th MC.

BUT the right rear is out exacly 1/4~5/16th over the left rear, for some unknown reason. Buy out i mean the track is wider on the right then the left. I will try to get pics later today or tommorow. Basicaly i measured all the arms, the compesators and teh upper and lower control arms and they are all the same.

it has to be the TA and/or the brake assemblies some how. The wheel clearence to the calipers are the same on both sides, the discance from the disc face to the upper control arm bolt is the same, the distance to the rear lower control arm bolt on is not it seems. I will re take the measurements later on to night to get exact numbers up. The car is not alligned yet since i also chagned out the steerig rack at teh same time.

Could the TA be different? are DA and DC integra or civic rear sets difference offsets? IF so can i change out the TA's and keep the hub and caliper asselmblies? or are the caliepsr not interchangeable on all inregras. the CRX lCA i ahve worked great.

I want to get my car alligned and back on the track for some lapping and make the next Autocroess....my stock drum assemblies were sold so i can't get thos back.

 

And the mismatch.

 

It could be that you have perhaps .5 degrees negative camber on one side and 1.5 degrees negative camber on the other side. That would make the top of the tires tuck in the fender on one side and poke out on the other. Adjustable rear camber links would cure that.

Or...has it ever been wrecked?!!

 

the only thing i know of that is different is the hubs for abs and non-abs and i beleive that is just due to the abs ring. the ta's are pretty much all the same. did you check the hat thickness of the rotors? do you get the same results with different wheels on the car or the wheels switched left to right? it looks like you measured rotor face to compensator bolt distance, but i'd also check if the rear hubs are both honda peices and that the bearings are still good. have you taken a rough camber measurement? and are the upper compensator arms tightened fully? finally, like track rat said, has the car ever been hit?

my last thought is that there is a lot of peices in the rear suspension on these cars. each with a small variance. it _might_ be possible that you've just taken all the clearances up one way on one side and the other way on the other side. loosen all the bolts a little and then drive it over some bumps to see if anything changes.

good luck. if you get in a real jam i have a spare set of rear disc brakes off an abs civic. i could compare measurements or whatever.

DA trialing arms are in fact different than DC hence the wider track your expierencing. although i dont know if this is will lead to anything troublesome. there is a guy at the local events with this setup and everything seems alright with it i supose.

 

Hey, i bet you have a DA arm on one side and DC arm on the other.

 

IT was a DA arm....and i changed it to a civic Si arm adn it works great.
