Civic EG

I have what I believe to be extreme negative(rear) caster. Actually i know it. The alignment spec sheet is in my car and im too lazy o get it but i believe it is -3 degrees give or take. Basically there is no room towards the rear and a ton towards the front. The bushing are in need of replacement but i dont think that the bushings will cause that much change.

The alignment guy said unless im doing serious racing i wont really need to worry about it. If i do i can get a traction bar.

WELL a traction bar is around $400 from what ive seen and im wondering if there is an easier fix =] I have this nasty problem of when i apply the brakes hard i get harsh tire rub.

My car also seems to drift to the left, and not the right like everyone elses in the world...and not just a bit. I must hold onto the wheel or i will start to make a long sloping left turn.

I take it i have a ton of bent suspension parts ....

Also something that bothers me, is one wheel is further out that the other. Im really hoping this is due to horrendous bushings (new ones will make it in one day =])

Hope you can help

a temp fix would be a traction bar with radius rods. That is the only way I would imagine to correct caster.

plug for my homie. He has bombass welds! He made my turbo manfiold and its still running strong 2yrs running.

Traction bars are my best bet. Anyone ever make their own ?

Dont make fun of my rims YO Work in progress

looks like you have a Bent control arm!

Where did your brakes go

I think it's that little blue thing, you can just see it if you sqint your eyes like this...

just in that picture i dunno if you have the wheel turned or not but it doesnt look right....

nope its centered and it is like that on both sides. Bushings being bad wouldnt cause that much negative caster, would they?

If not the junk yard will soon be robbed of control arms.

Upgraded the brakes in 30 seconds. They rule. Free too

Hmmm, IDK. They look like Spoon knock-offs to me, all the holes are in odd places...
