will bad front lower control arm bushings give my 2000 integra excessive negative camber?
Car: Acura, Integra, 2000, b18c1 - Back to Fix-It - Acura Integra Repair Manuals
Q.will bad front lower control arm bushings give my 2000 integra excessive negative camber?
More Info required how bad are the bushings and what it the camber deg's at?
Addition the bushing farthest from the ball joint looks off center there is more space behind the bushing in the rear than in front. Is it supposed to be off center? Camber fl is -2.2 fr is -2.3.
More Info required i have seen these worn and off center a bit but not the extent of causing this much camber.
how much off center is it all the way to the arm.
Addition i forgot to mention my car is lowered 2" front and rear.
The rear camber is in spec, but the fronts are way off. Some other integra's that are as low as mine have less neg.
Camber at the same drop, thats why i think something is wrong. When i inspected my suspension that was the only thing i noticed that looked off. Upper and lower ball joints had no play either. What other components should i look at?
Answer ok to correct this you will need to install adjustable upper control arms. I have the same on my wifes civic and had to buy adjustable upper control arms.
Addition yea but theres lowered integras civics out there without camber kits that are close to spec like less than -2.0* of camber. I dont want to put a band aid on a worn part. Do you think it could be that flca bushing?
Answer with the lower control arm bushing worn and not broken completely then the most you would get on camber is about 1 deg or less.
is this the case. ?
on my civic the camber on this was 2 degs and no worn parts.
i currently run 1 deg camber on adjustable control arms.
so if the bushing is not broken all the way out and just showing cracking in the rubber bushing then this will not create all this camber.
i do alignments every day at my dealer and we do a lot of lowered cars with the problem. No adjustable upper control arms and 2 -3 degs of camber.
this is just plain facts for these cars been lowered.
Addition the bushing has bits of rubber coming off on the lip of the control arm, cant really see the condition of the bushing since its in such a tight spot.
The fork bushing is pretty twisted tho..so if it is the bushing causing -1* of camber if i replace the flca my spec would go under -2* front camber possibly?
Answer its very possible.
Addition hmm very interesting thank you for your insight!
Answer your very welcome
