has anybody seen adjustable lower control arm for rear of 95 civic dx hatch? i was told at tire store i could get them, but have not found an adjustable one yet. my back driver side wheel is turned in just a little, not wearing the tires yet, but still would like to swap them.

 

i dont think they make a adj control arm for the rear. Usually rear camber kits consist of whats called a "shim kit" It is a few washers and a longer arm bolt. You can find a DIY on honda-tech.

 

i have the rear camber kit, and my camber itself is perfect, but my rear wheels are turned in some. like / \ driver side little worse than passenger

 

that means u have toe in on both sides. If you take it to an alignment place, they can correct that for you because the car comes stock w/ adjustments for toe in for that year model. How do i know? i did an integra rear disc conversion on my 92 civic hatch. If you follow the trailing arm forward, u will see an L bracket that goes to another bolt that has a back and forth adjustment. This fixes toe.

 

i know what you are talking about. i had another 95 hatch that had an adustment where the control arm mounts to trailing arm. this car does NOT have any adjustment on it. the other car had a bolt thru control arm to trailing arm that would slide back and forth. this car has nothing there. when i carried it to get everything aligned, the guys there said they had never seen one without the adjustments.

 

that is the wierdest thing i have ever heard. now i dont know lol.

 

There is no adjustment for any EG/DC/EK on factory lower control arms to make any adjustments. In fact, I don't know of any AFTERMARKET companies that do that either. What they are probably talking about is the upper control arm, which is like a dogbone that connects the rear spindle to the rear frame, and when you put a camber kit, it replaces the whole arm and has a center piece that can be clocked and shortened. This is what they adjust for rear camber. For toe, it's factory adjustable, and on those cars, caster isn't adjustable at all.

 

agree....they do make adjustable Upper Arms but not LCA's.

 

i have a brand new set of skunk2 camber kit in the rear, and LOWER control arms from skunk2 on now. Like i said in other post my other 95 hatch had factory places to adjust where the lower control arm mounted to trailing arm. There were 3 or 4 holes where the bolt held it on to move it in or out

 

You're looking at something else then, it's no way that it was the rear lower control arm, unless you're looking at the swaybar provisions which allow you to adjust the position of the sway bar, which has nothing to do with the alignment of the car.

Are you talking about the 3 threaded holes on the top portion of the LCA? If so, those are sway bar provisions.

 

no thats not what im talking about. where the lower control arm bolts up towards the middle not the outside part, my other car had 3 or 4 holes there to move control arm in or out. i will get pics of my car this weekend and circle places im talking about. it really doesnt matter now. im taking all the skunk2 suspension off in next few weeks for airbags
