For those of you that know or don't know, we DO have a Suspension FAQ on the front page. It contains updated the parts list with most of the recent parts. If you guys find any problems, find that I need to add a part/part number/specific, let me know. I want to try to keep it updated as much as possible.

REAR CAMBER ARM HONDA/ACURA

67230
Instructions

EZ Arm XR(tm)

1. Before beginning any alignment, always check for loose or worn parts, tire pressure, and odd tire wear patterns.
2. Raise rear of vehicle and support on jack stands.
3. Remove rear wheel and tire assembly. If applicable, loosen and remove small bolt holding anti-lock brake wire bracket to upper arm and position out of the way. Loosen and remove bolt and nut from spindle at the upper control arm. Remove the 2 bolts holding the upper control arm to the body and remove arm.
4. Make sure that both ends of the 67230 have equal threads showing on either side of the turnbuckle. Install the 67230 arm by first installing the 2 bolts at the body and torque to manufacturer's specifications.
5. Install the arm to spindle bolt using the supplied nut but DO NOT tighten. Replace wheel and tire assembly. alignment equipment, and re-compensate.

NOTE: Tightening the nuts with the vehicle in the raised position may cause premature bushing wear due to preloading the bushing.

6. Adjust camber by loosening jam nuts and turning center piece to desired camber specifications

NOTE: The maximum length of the arm is reached when the flat on one rod is visible at the end of the turnbuckle adjuster. DO NOT lengthen the arm beyond this point.

7. After camber adjustment is made, make sure that either set of holes on the center piece are pointing to the rear of the vehicle and then tighten the jam nuts. Tighten the arm to spindle bolt to manufacturer's specifications.
8. Cut part of the tab off as shown in Figure #1 on the anti-lock wire bracket with a pair of side cutting pliers. Mount bracket on center piece of arm so tab fits in large hole and install supplied small bolt in threaded hole and tighten, securing bracket to arm. Use care not to over tighten bolt.

Always check for proper clearance between suspension components and other components of the vehicle.

9.Set rear toe to specifications, complete alignment and road test vehicle.
