well i jus got new yokohama c drives on my euro and i got it wheel aligned electronic one too and after the new tyres are on i notice that the rear wheels on the driver side seems to b cambering out and the other side is normal.

any ideas ???

correct me if i am wrong, but i think he probably adjusted the castor and not the camber unless u have adjustable supension wtih pillowball mounts... sounds like the alignment guy did a good job to me... he would have given u a report and talked u through it... well he should have... and on that report would be your castor settings...

give it a flick and see how she handles... :)

well the euro is a fwd and isnt that it doesnt have a rear adjustment to the wheels ?
i didnt get a report but i got it done at bob jane t mart where the honda dealers take it there also.

Well the only way to find out is to take it back. Bob Jane usually do a very good job and I believe that they are one of the best in class.

The rear has camber and toe (probably castor) adjustment. In order to adjust camber, you actually have to replace the upper arm!

the fact the car is a fwd has nothing to do with the castor adjustment...

i think the words camber and castor are wrongly used sometimes... i am guilty of this myself...

well neways i got back to bob jane today and got them to check it out again and they showed me the whole detail. apparently the driver side rear wheel was pushed in more than the other side and the toe was 40' out and there is not much that can b done unless i buy a camber kit. something he said that there was no adjustment on the rear that can change the rear wheel to have it pushing out abit more. i also got a printed report from bob jane ... but all is good.

euro tires don't wear evenly. they wear more on the outside from memory.
i'd AT LEAST get them rotated every service, especially if you are still on the stock tires as they wear fairly quick

Tell me about, I'm due for new tyres after 17K km's. These are the softest tyre I've ever had. The edges wear real quick.


Maybe I should slow down on the corners too :)

yeah we've found at work that the 20-something yo's chew the tires pretty fast when they get em lol

we get alot of complaints about them but the tires are shit to keep the cost of the car down. hopefully in the future honda might do something about it
