Kremmen Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 According to this thread the rear of the new Civic is locked down. Unfortunately for this owner it's been locked down out of alignment ! http://www.civinfo.com/forum/wheels-tyres-...adjustable.html Wonder where that leaves him ?

Tony Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Are they sure?..... As far as i know the rear Toe is adjustable... If i recall each hub has a 19mm lock nut, a 24mm adjuster with an eccentric "D" cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmen Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Tony FYI: There are NO adjustments possible on the rear axle on 06civic onwards because it is a solid H beam axle , the adjustments other posters mention on this thread relate to the previous generation civic which had the facility to adjust the rear `toe ` setting only.These figures below are for all models (petrol,diesel,3dr,5dr)except type r varient which has slight differences Front Caster angle: 4 ° 14 '± 30 ' Front toe-in: 0±2 mm (0±0.08 in.) Rear toe-in: 4±2 mm (0.16±0.08 in.) Front Camber angle: 0 ° 00 '± 30 ' Maximum difference between the right and left side: 0 ° 30 ' Rear camber angle: −1 ° 00 '±30 ' type r wheel alignment spec Front Caster angle: 4 ° 25 '± 30 ' Front Camber angle: −0 ° 07 '± 30 ' Maximum difference between the right and left side: 0 ° 30 ' Rear camber angle: −1 ° 00 '±30 ' Front toe-in: 0±2 mm (0±0.08 in.) Rear toe-in: 5±2 mm (0.20±0.08 in.) only the front toe settings are adjustable & with different bolts you can make small adjustments to the front camber settings,other than that if your car doesnt meet the spec then something is proberbly bent Seems a bit naive to me !

TDIPLC Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 The chassis on the new Civic seems to be a retrograde step. I think it's based on the Jazz (or some other basic) model Did anyone see the Top Gear test between the old and model Civic Type R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 All the listings i have show the Civic as rear toe adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmen Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 All the listings i have show the Civic as rear toe adjustable The info came from a poster on the Civinfo forum who is from the factory. I do agree though, the latest rear suspension is definately a backward step being torsion beam. Back end is a bit harsh for my liking. Apparently they decided on that setup to increase the boot area.

alnug Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I always wondered why Honda gave the new type-R torsion beam suspension...it is a great let down to the car and seems to me like they are trying to cut out the multilink rear suspension....seems like the latest Accord is the last of the mainstream Hondas to use the multilink rear. The way the older Type-r pummelled the newer one was a bit sad... So your comps are showing the Type-r is adjustable Tony?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
