Alignment issue

***SiAzul*** · 09-12-2007, 02:37 PM

the other day I went to my Honda dealer to get my alignment done and now I have a problem. The Camber for the rear wheels is supposed to be somewhere between .03 and .13, and my right rear wheel could only be set to .15. They asked me if I had hit anything but, that hasn't happend, and besides how would I hit something with my back tire and not the front? They told me I would have to get a body shop to look at it and see what they could do. Anybody who know anything about this I would just like to know if the .02 difference out of recommended specs will do much to affect wheel wear or cause more probs in the future. Also how hard would it be to fix it? will it be expensive?

Thanks

appriciate the help man but i have 2 more questionz. will there be any issue taking it to the dealer to be aligned in the future and how much knowledge does it take to intall it?

there are 2 adjustable rear camber arms available. SPC ($240) is easily adjusted, and skunk2($190) must take off the tire to adjust...so i would ge the SPC if you have teh few extra dollars.

as far as installation, both are straight forward and can be done in a driveway. skunk2 is easier to install, SPC...make sure you follow the directions perfectly and put the bracket on correctly (i hade this problem and so did a few other people and i couldnt adjust the camber correctly).

any alignment shop will be able to adjust the SPC camber very easily to get your car back to stock specs. but they will probably charge more if they have to remove the tire to adjust the skunk2 camber though...
