Done a wheel alignment twice, brand new rear cambers, changed all rear trailing arm bushes still poking out? Can it be shock? The actual arm? The other side side nice and flush and wheels are not buckled
 
It's not touching anywhere wheels are straight, it's killing me. Some told me might be a bent shock but when I had an allotment done nothing looked bent both rears were in the green ;)
 
Any pics from the underside, so you can compare both sides to see if there is a difference?
 
Iv checked that the wheel guy checked aswell nothing's different. Swapped wheels still same thing. Can it be a slightly Bent shock? That's all I can think off now
 
They are defo touching the arches you can see the marks

What's offset on the wheels?
 
Can't be bent shock because it bolts to the lower arm, so even of it was bent the lower arm would have to be bent, Which would make it sit inwards not outwards.
Cars not been in a wreck? This would be an explanation, or had a new quarter poorly replaced?
 
Sounds silly, but when you say you have done alignment twice, have you made sure the camber is the same at both sides, as fair enough the toe might be correct but as you have mentioned you fitted adjustable camber arms, just checking!

On a thought, "both rears are in the green" with the wheel sitting that like on one side and not the other?
 
I read it as he fitted new oem arms because it was already like this and was trying to fix the problem?
If he's got adjustable a like you say and hasn't got the whole alignment done then that's the problem lol
But surely the person doing the aligning would know that?

Click to expand...

Maybe I read it with the presumption he but adjustable ones in like everyone seems to when refreshing.

Probably best ignoring my post really after thought lol, although looking at the wheel it still looks camber arm related to me.

Both cambers are equal adjusted at the rear. Everything seems to be straight just don't know were else to check.
 
not sure what wheels your using but have you tried swapping left with right, you may have a different offset with your alloys?
 
Measure the dimensions between the bushes in the LCA's...
Are these the same?
Are the dimensions of the trailing arms the same?

I know EG/ITR LCA's are shorter, so then the wheel should be more inward...
But maybe you have aftermarket LCA's or the wrong trailing arm-LCA combo?

Here you can find the dimensions you should have:EK rear LCA on an EG? - Honda-Tech

Is the distance between the rear subframe (where the LCA attaches to the subframe) and rear wheel arch the same (try to measure somewhere, where you have a fixed point)?

Strange :(
 
Yup, as above the only real way to find out is to start measuring stuff. Something has to be off IMO.

Either that or as previously mentioned it will have been an a pretty bad whack (but then it would have been a pig to align) or its had a rear quarter replaced poorly.
