The camber on my front left is sitting at a much more negative then my right. From what i can see there i nothing that can be done for the alignment with stock a-arms. Any ideas on what could be causing this, or what could help even them up? New a-arms are not an option as of right now but def something for in the DISTANT future!

The camber is way off in stock form, but possible bent upper, worn a-arm pivot bearing or ball joint. When your ready, we have a stock upper a-arm mod for the Honda for adjustable camber and corrects castor depending on what your doing with it. You can see this one our website, www.jetsuspension.com or www.jet-motorsports.com. we have all years in stock and how it works is you send us your uppers, when use your bearings if they are in good shape, then send you the modded upper (like a core exchange).

So thats it, stock a-arms are junk and come from the factory with alignement problems? Is it really that plain and simple?

04~05 actually had positive camber by 1/8" and 06~09 wind up with 0 or slight negative depending. There could be other issues like I stated above not to mention bent rims, but basically camber stinks in stock form.

ok well i will keep in mind that upgrading to some bertter a-arms might be worth while. I only trail ride and run the occasional freebie track (no racing), so i'm not too worried about it right now. Just thought that it was odd that the camber wasnt matching up on both sides.
