Ok, thanks for the advises. Usually the alignment machine will have the original camber information? Wanna set it back to ori.

Bro Gunnerzz, not yet "too much throttle input while cornering" coz the traction control not yet kick in smile_tongue.gif
I'll tekan until the ESP light starts to blink, haha. After a few corners like that, I felt a bit dizzy... smile_dead.gif

I don't remember the original camber...
The tyre shop technician told me that my car ori setting is negative and it will "eat" the inner side.
He recommended to set it to zero. I said ok since the rear tyre's inner side already botak while outside still have a bit left over.

So now that my car camber is more positive?
Any recommendation? Thanks.



it could be due to camber more to 0.0 (or sitting straight)

and could be due to toe setting...

i suggest go set back to factory setting...and the front camber setting if the technician says his adjustment better...make sure he not adjust more than+-0.5degree than factory setting

Speaking of camber lari, I need a bit of advice on my Civic FD rear camber.

My Civic FD rear right camber is now on -1.75 while the left rear is abt -1.1 ~ -1.3. Stock, no mod.

The problem with FD design is if you need to re-adjust the rear camber, it will need replacement of the entire lower arm.

Replaced the adjustable rear right lower arm with a local product by workshop but after only a year or so, the rubber or whatever weaken the arm, thus the arm will knock onto the car when going thru hard bump and getting worse by the day. Force to change back to the original arm again.

Car tyre wear on that side seems balance when using the local aftermarket arm but at RM400 plus a year before kong, may as well change new tyre rather than replace the with another lousy arm.

Question, is -1.75 absolutely require camber re-adjustment? Do I just stay stock and let it makan the tyres assuming the camber setting does not get worse?

If need to change to aftermarket civic FD adjustable lower arm, any recommended trusted shop or good original brand?

Agree to bro. DC18 comment. Get the original figures then work from there. Some original settings are already in -ve.

If with -1.75 the tyre wear is still okay might as well leave it.... smile_tongue.gif

speaking of which...i think your stock rear camber is around -1.0degree if reaching -1.7 that was wayyy too much for stock ride.....u were using lowered suspension or stock ride height???


i would say get a reputable brand for the adjustable lower arm....u can try your luck by searching in mudah.my

mudah got all sorts of quality...cheap imitation, reputable replica, genuine stuff etc etc...

and normally those adjustable one comes with pillowball type bushing..hence not long lasting...but the pillowball can be changed alone without changing whole set....bring the pillowball sample to big bolt-nuts shop sure got one fits...
