(bolt to the right just above the knuckle(?)) what is that part called? i was told rear upper control arm. is there another part that adjusts the toe? i think my camber is ok but may also be a little positive.

im noticing a lot of pictures being posted but none look like the 98 civic. but maybe this one i am quoting. whenever lowering a car the toe/camber/caster get adjusted on parts that are not adjustable. honda alignment specs state certain things are not adjustable.


really confused still.... i really appreciate the help but im way off track lol

yeah, that is called upper rear control arm - potentailly it will move the trailing arm (the one connected to the hub and adjust slightly the toe.

thank you in advance, for any suggestions.
this is something you can google and BBB, or post in a better sub forum like your own thread. better yet try posting in your area to see if you get a better response

Smile Re: 98 honda civic ex coupe lowered

didnt want you guys to think i forgot about you. i just wanted to say thank you. i found that my front suspension was just installed wrong. missing a few parts too at the cost of new tires and more work..... expected but this is getting costly lol. so now my front end is about 3/4" higher. found out how to adjust the rear toe after ive been told by many that its not possible.....ill always find a way to prove everyone wrong.... girls can be automotive smart too lol

really looking forward to an engine swap and trans swap.... ill keep you guys posted!

thanks again!!

Lisa

Re: 98 honda civic ex coupe lowered

wow.
Which parts were missing?
Also, how did you end up adjusting the toe? It would be interesting to have these info to close the case.

glad eveything is on track now
