Civic Rear Camber Problem... Update

1oldroaddog · 01-29-2008, 11:18 AM

Hello,

I can't seem to get the post of the TSB 08-001.. Can someone repost?

ALSO... My car is currently in the shop as I write.. The "Fix" only corrects the camber BUT not enough to be in spec!! With the new upper arms, both sides, my R-Rear is still 1 degree outside on the min/max allowable.
The Service Manager has a call in to Honda engineers at 9AM CA time to see if anything else can be done..

OH.... For those of us with the car pulling to right, the Service Manger said that is now gone..

Stay Tuned..

My FA5 is in the shop today for the same reason. They've already called to tell me that the si model is not covered by the bulletin. I told them that I want it fixed under warranty anyway... they're going to get back to me... still waiting.

Update on last post:

Service adviser tells me that the TSB doesn't cover si (I knew that). He talked to his district service manager and they declined to do anything. The service adviser asked if I'd like to have the problem diagnosed (for a mere $100) and I politely declined. I called HOA and now I'm the proud owner of a Case #. I should have more news within "48 business hours"... whatever that means.

I'll update when I get news from HOA. I hope they respond before my new Kumhos hate me.
