Honda Civic Project Car
Rear Alignment

Next we set up the car for a four-wheel alignment. You can see from our measurements that both the front and the rear are in need of alignment because of the lowering. We started in the rear of the vehicle and moved to the front.
From reviewing the readings we saw that our rear camber was very negative. Using a straight edge you can see the way that the rear tire is tilted in at the top.
These are the kits that we chose to use. Part number 81260 will be used to adjust the front camber and Part number 67230 will be used to adjust rear camber. P/N 67230 comes with the capability for models with or without ABS as well.
Part number 67230 replaces the upper control of the rear suspension. The first step was to remove the upper control arm to knuckle bolt and the ABS line bracket.
The next step was to remove the upper control arm bracket to the sub-frame bolts and remove the arm from the vehicle
This is the original arm compared to the 67230. We recommend to screw each end in or out until equal lengths of threads are showing. This is done to provide the greatest strength at any point of adjustment.
We then installed the 67230 in the vehicle. This was done in the reverse order of removal. Note that we threaded the jam nuts all the way out so that they were not in the way when we started to adjust the arm.
Here we needed to trim a portion of the tab off of the ABS bracket in order for it to be bolted to the arm. This was done per the instructions.
After we adjusted the camber we then attached the ABS bracket to the arm with the supplied bolt. We then set the rear toe and then were ready to move to the front of the vehicle.
