Rep Power: 0 What shocks and struts do you recommend to replace OEM?
Hey guys, my 08 Civic just hit 105,000 miles and I'm wondering what you recommend on replacing the suspension. I have really bad negative camber on my rear tires that the alignment shop can't fix. They said I should get some new adjustable rear upper control arms and that should fix the problem. I figured I'd replace the suspension too considering the amount of miles and I always carry a lot of weight in my trunk. Will replacing the suspension and control arms fix the camber and not eat my tires? What brands do you recommend? Thanks!

there's a TSB (tech service bulletin) on the rear arms, take to dealer to replace arms?

I would get the camber issue fixed and then decide if you want to replace the struts. If the ride quality and your breaking performance has not been compromised or they are not leaking then I would not worry about replacing them.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
