When I was driving around your area, I noticed that the roads are slanted the opposite way to the usual camber in. One bend had the road curved to the left but the road was sloping to the right! Very odd experience driving through that with my car as my car is setup such that it tramlines and pulls to the side under camber.Quote:

I bought my Euro 2nd hand back in Nov. 07, and when I got it, I did notice it was always pulling to the left and was esspecially noticeable on highway driving. When I got the car, it had just had 2 new front tyres fitted (Pirelli)and the rears were about 3 months old (Michelin). (OEM Honda 17" Wheels)
Today I finally booked the car into Beaurepairs for a 4 wheel alignment. To my suprise, when I went to pick the car up, they didn't want to charge me anything!? They said they couldn't totally fix the problem!? The guy said they had improved it, but could not totally fix the alignment because he said some part somewhere in the steering/suspension must be bent. He said it's not "accident bent", but was probably caused by a pot-hole or curb.
Anyway, driving it home, it felt pretty much perfect. I wont know for sure untill I get out on a flat section of highway. It bothers me though that somethng is not right :( (My other concern was they didn't charge me because they did something to my car that I don't know about yet, but I doubt it.)
Please see attached the before/after adjustment values. Do these values look within spec.? Should I be worried about this?
S.
^^ Your alignment specs look within specs after the alignment.
Mine MY05 Euro, now on different than oem 040 tyres (some kind of Kumho I think, can't remember, its been on for last 15K Kms), pulls constantly to the left these days, after laser alignment. Its been like this since day 1 after changing the tyres. Before that, it was neutral but more susceptible to pulling right than the left. Now its the opposite.
As I'm said numerous times, it doesn't make a lot of sense to blame it on the OEM tyres. Don't compared 16s with 17s either, big profile difference.
Something wrong with the design somehow. I'm sure if I wanted to follow up the issue a bit more I could fix the problem as it was rather neutral before.
I just didn't think it bothered me enough in my situation, although for others I could envisage it being a bit of a pain always fighting the wheel.!
My 2002 Gen 2 CRV Sports Auto tracks perfectly neutral. Wish my Euro tracks similiar to my CRV.

The second mechanic however, told me to replace the UPPER control arm so I can replace the ball joint and rectify the positive camber. All I want to know is, will adjusting the camber to negative but ignoring the "slightly" bent control arm an issue??
Thanks all!!
Best to replace the lower control arm if it is bent. Having camber adjustability would be nice though. :)Quote:

Seeing as you recommended me to replace the arm aaron, I might replace it if the problem still persists. Then that means it will be my fourth allignment this year.....damn do I feel my wallet getting light from just the allignments.....Quote:
