Hi!everyone,

I just bought a EK4 and I realise the rear camber is a littlr bit different from either side. The car doesnt look like it had been into any accident, but it looks to me the left rear camber is 0 deg and the rear right is about -1. The only reason i pay attention to it coz the left rear tyre wear a tiny bit more on the outer area which doesnt happen on the rear right tyre.
so, my question is:
1.when the car come out from the factory, do they have identical camber angle on both sides or they try to make it a bit different to compensate the road ondition as we are RHD in aussie. As I know the ride height on the driver side is slight higher.
2. Would it be due to the wear and tear on the bushes?

Anyone have any idea? Thx!

First of all, go and get the wheel alignment checked/adjusted

Incorrect toe settings could be the cause of your wear issue.

Incorrect toe will happen with just hitting hard at bump or inappropriate driving.

Get an alignment! and get it done at least one or two years and erytime you change ur tyres. your civic had been on the street over 10 yrs. not suprise for incorrect toe
