[gach2]

hmm can be a lot
upto 1k new from pedders
have seen some on ebay for $200

though maybe a wheel alignment could be enough
take it to a tyre shop and get them up on alignment
and see how bad the camber is

If your camber is different from side to side it could cause a pulling problem. Your honda will pull to the side with the more positive camber. On many front-wheel-drive vehicles, camber is not adjustable. If the camber is out on these cars, it indicates that something is worn or bent, possibly from an accident and must be repaired or replaced asap. (it will shred your tyres instantly!~)

Not really, TOE causes this, not camber. If camber is overly positive or negative on either side and TOE is perfect 0 then your car won't pull to either side if your going straight.

As you have said, many factory cars do not have camber adjustment, but ALL cars can have TOE adjusted. When people (who do not really understand cars) go get their "wheels aligned" at the shop TOE is what is corrected, primarily also so that you car drives straight with the steering wheel straight. I was wondering for the longest time what actually gets aligned if the camber is not adjustable.

back in the days, washers were used as a really dodgy means to adjust camber back to positive for those who fully hektik lower their cars, but the danger with this method was that it reduced the bolt thread for the suspension part controlling the camber.

-Get a wheel alignment.

-Raise the car.

-Get a camber kit.

Either/or a combination of the above.

Go to a 'specialist' suspension place, no kmart or beaurepaires. They will be able to tell you weather they can fix it by doing a wheel alignment. They will also tell you weather you need a camber kit.
