Does you euro have drift to one side tendency?

[aeuro]

Prior to some suspension mods at 15,000km, my Euro never drifted to the right or left. The mods I did were to replace the rear sway bar with a stiffer bar and replace all dampers with Konis. No alteration of ride height; that's just being an idiot asking for problems on a car without adjustable camber.

Then after these mods, I had a wheel alignment done and then the car could not stay in the lane for any more than 3 seconds. I spat the dummy and got another wheel alignment done elsewhere. Hey presto! The car now tracks wonderfully and will stay in the lane for a good 5 or 6 seconds. 18,000km on the clock now.

The good wheel alignment I had done was -
Front Toe 0mm Left and Right
Rear Toe Left: 2mm In, Right: 2mm In.

Note that the camber is not adjustable. Interesting though that my front camber is roughly 0 degrees but the Left Rear is -2 degrees while the Right Rear is -1 degrees. I suppose this helps with the camber of our roads? Not sure.

Hope that helps but I suspect that most people having problems here just need a decent wheel alignment. If you've driven a long distance tolerating a strong pull to the right, then I would replace all 4 tyres, and then get a decent wheel alignment done. Don't bother waiting for Honda to fix this for you, either do it yourself or put up with it.

Note that I am still using the original RE040s and have never had the subframe adjusted.

I've been doing some more experimenting. Most of the time the Euro tracks well but sometimes it does pull to the right, taking 3 seconds to hit the whiteline. It does this despite the road looking flat but it seems that on all but the flattest of roads, then yes there is tendnancy to drift right slightly. Personally I don't think my car suffers badly from this at all.

One other thing, according to the service manual, the rear camber should be -1deg +/- 30 minutes, meaning that the left rear has half a degree more camber than it should. I'll try to reduce this using the play in the damper top hat bolts when I get the tyres changed.

That amount of pulling is very minimal. You know you have a problem if your car changes lane completely within 2-3 seconds at 110km/h. LOL. That was what I had when my left camber was -2.7 and the right was -3.2
