Rear tire camber??

Nsovick7 said:

Hi all. Just picked up my 2023 HRV sport, and I've noticed the rear wheels seem to have some camber to them. Is this normal? I have already taken it back to the dealership and they did an alignment, which they did end up finding a toe issue with the right rear, but said the camber in the rear is within spec. Has anyone else seen this? View attachment 35736

That negative camber looks excessive to me.

Apparently, car designers put in a little such camber to assist in cornering, but I dislike the look where the wheels aren't square to the road. And who needs the shortened tire life?

Sometimes body design gives a visual illusion of excessive camber, but you seem well beyond that.

I've come to believe that modern computer controlled tire balancing and alignment equipment are not being properly operated by techs these days. The equipment is so automated, they don't know when things are astray.

If it's within spec and there is no odd tire wear or squirrely handling I wouldn't worry about it. If you think that's excessive negative rear camber check out the rear camber on a Honda Element sometime.

It's a guess, but I don't think rear camber is adjustable.

But some aftermarket parts might make it so.

if its not adjustable they will have to make new parts - IF they decide HONDA is in the wrong.
The aftermarket world did come up with adjustable type control arms for this civic - BUT their intent was to allow adjustablity for lowered/racing suspensions etc.

This is not for the HRV.. It is for the civic and yes they used control arms on them along with the 07 accord I had... The HRV is a sold axle and the shim kits WILL work...getting the dealer to do it is another thing...
