07 civic rear camber adjustment??

Had the alignment done at Sears, they stated there is no adjustment specified by Honda for the rear Camber which is out of specs. That sounds rediculous that Honda would make it so you cannot adjust the camber.
Is there a kit I need to get to fix this or just take to another shop that has a clue??
Local Honda dealer is a sham, wouldn't take anything to them.
Ideas??

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

Re: 07 civic rear camber adjustment??

Sears doesn't have the resources to offer a fix for this fairly well known problem?
You buy the new upper control arms listed in the bulletin from Honda and have them installed, and get another alignment.

Or you buy aftermarket adjustable upper arms and have them installed, and get another alignment.
Most people aren't going to adjust them anyway, the machines don't list them as a possible place to make adjustments. You will need someone smart to do the job.

Or modify the stock upper arm mounts to move rear camber closer to zero, and get another alignment.

Or leave it alone if it isn't eating up rear tires.
