06 Civic alignment problems. I had my 06 Civic Ex in for an alignment and was told by the tech that he could not adjust the rear wheel camber specs because honda made no provision for adjustment to the rear setting other than a toe adjustmet. Has anyone else had this problem? My rear camber specs are -1.8 and -2.0 degrees. The car feels very unstable and requires constant small steering corrections when on the freeway. All the other cars i have owned have never had this problem . Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |
Re: 06 Civic alignment problems. I have had this problem on my `06 LX coupe as well as the `01 LX sedan that preceded it. In my `06, I had Eibach rear camber kits installed at 80,000 mi. These have made alignment to spec no problem. Less expensive products to achieve the same end have since become available. I much prefer Honda's independent rear suspension to the torsion beams found in comparable Toyotas, Nissans, etc. But the necessary modification does put one to an episode of extra expense and trouble when the car ages. |
Re: 06 Civic alignment problems. you need the updated honda control arms or an aftermarket camber kit. 06-09 civics all have defective rear control arms. |

Re: 06 Civic alignment problems. thats what i meant by "updated honda control arms" which do not come stock on the car. dealer has to replace them for you with the C model. |
Re: 06 Civic alignment problems. I just purchased an 06 Civic EX coupe with 40,000 miles today and quickly noticed I have alot of negative camber in the rear, maybe as much as 5 or 6%on the right rear. The car is stock and I intend to keep it stock (for now) so who makes an inexpensive fix or bolt kit without having to replace the rear control arms? I know all this camber will quickly ruin my new tires. This is my third Civic in a row tia Jay |
Re: 06 Civic alignment problems. just get a quality camber kit from SPC or ingalls for around $150-180. it will make them fully adjustable so you can get a proper alignment. |
