Correct rear camber 2009 Accord

[redhat]

Since I have owned my Accord, I have had and been told that there is no adjustment for the rear camber. With recently investing $$$ in new tires, I'd like to ask if there's any way I could, parts wise, resolve my negative camber in the rear of my 2009 Accord.

Years back, I installed an adjustable control arm (on each side) in hopes that it'd be able to correct the issue.

Anything else look out of the ordinary. This alignment was from after I replaced my outer tie-rods. I have lifetime alignment from Firestone.

The rear camber is not adjustable from the factory, but you can purchase and install a camber kit if you really feel the need to.

Is the car lowered?

Stock height, stock suspension.

Is that camber in the back of any concern? Red probably persuades people.

Not sure if this helps at all, from the Accord forum from a few years ago:

Since I had an alignment by the dealer this past April, I've continually thought about how I had high negative camber on the right rear. Right left was a little bit out but OK. See below. My question to all of you is... does anyone add the rear camber kit just to get their camber in spec even with a stock suspension? I'm not thinking of lowering, just to correct this. Or is this normally and only added when lowering?

Thanks.

A rear camber kit will allow for a wider range of adjustability by the alignment person (which is what's needed to get you cambet in to spec). Now I'm not fully up to speed on the Gen 9's (I had Gen 7's), but if it were my car, I'd install a camber kit.

Thank you. I am thinking of the SPC rear camber kit (1 arm on each side). Should correct it.


Also this thread and the posts by Fredsvt who recommends an Ingalls rear camber kit. Set the rear camber to .7 on both sides. Plus if you still tow a trailer that will increase the rear camber even more.

My Impreza has very similar negative camber. It seemed was responsible for inside wear on original set of tires.. But I got even wear on 1st replacement set of tires, at least when I moved to 5k rotations. That ~1.5 degree negative camber is quite obvious to the naked eye. It looks wrong !

If u have the rear adjustable Arms 4 camber u need to let them kno. Normally if rear camber is out on a honda a sell rear adjustable Arms.

My accord, and past Accord are lowered. I have been through this over and over. This is what you need, one for each side. You can also buy the kit that comes with three arms for each side but that gets expensive. Ingalls also sells a kit but that replaces the upper ball joint on the rear upper control arm. For the minor adjustment you need because your car is at stock height I'd buy one of these for each side and done.
