Alright so, I have an 05 TL and its been lowered on Tein s tech springs and Truhart shocks. The camber was pretty bad in the rear but there way no swaying or side sway over bumps or dips in the road. I got a set of lower control arms or bars to correct the camber, although it fixed some of the issues it didn't fix any and that's where my car started to sway left to right mostly rear. I then orderd a set of Truhart upper camber kit for the rear and my tires were straight again and could corner good but, the swaying is still there and pretty bad. Not sure if the tires make a difference because I have 245/40/17 not the stock size and I cant for the life of me figure what is causing this problem. Is the shock too soft do I need to go to a more heavy duty type shock? do I need to remove the lower control arms/camber kit and put stock back on? Please if anyone has this problem or ever had it and solved it please help im all ears.

BTW: the car has been aligned and this problem still exist.

you need an alignment....
when you lower the car, you change the suspension's geometry... which will mess up the driving characteristics.

getting an alignment will put the car back to "factory alignment specs"

+2 alignment.

The alignment has been done, I left that part out above, I will edit this and the car still does what I explained above.

also, if you left the endlinks disconnected from the rear sway bar, the car will sway.

maverick06xx

I don't have it right off had and never posted pictures but i'll get it.

if the spec's arent correct...you'll get swaying.
thus why i want to see it, JUST to make sure the specs are correct

thoiboi

then second would be rear sway bar or broken end links

maverick06xx

they are connected

maybe I should invest in swaybar endlinks but I know someone here has got to have had this happen before.

if your stock OEM ones are connected, then they are not broken.

thoiboi

maverick06xx

remove the lower control arms/camber kit and put stock back on.That fixed my problem with yours car symptoms

waldimir

Acura's lower control arms will solve the problem

waldimir

to have alignment in spec keep Truhart upper camber kit, but put back acura"s lower control arms

maverick06xx

i wish i had my stockers, dang it. Anyone have a set?

maverick06xx

just checked ebay stock set 100 for right side and 100 for left side ouch....anyone have these they want to sell?

BROlando

Check on bernardiparts.com for your LCA's. I think they're around $70 each.

Are your bushings torn on your aftermarket arms?

Did you tighten all the bolts while the wheels were just drooping? If yes...then...yes, your bushings are torn.

maverick06xx

all bolts are tighten and both alingment guys says everythingnis good. Do u have a picture of could u post a picture of the bushings u speak of? I will check that site out though.

Thread only has ~1300 posts so it's a fairly uncommon issue

maverick06xx

he is referring to the rear not the front as they are new and were replaced in June of last year.

maverick06xx

I still don't know what bushings you are talking about if anyone has a picture that would be great. I searched and yes 70 to 73 each arm which there are 4 two right and two left.

waldimir

OK I had the same Problem.Aftermarket lower arms bushings to soft, even not torn .Put back new OEM control lower arms, and the car will drive as new....!!!!

BROlando

The control arms all have bushings at one or both ends.

They need to be tightened with the car at ride height.

If you tighten them while the car is lifted up on jack stands or a lift... and the wheels are drooping, you will tear the bushings when you put the car down on the ground.

maverick06xx

if i can get a stock set i will and replace them. If anyone has any please help ive seen some on ebay in pairs for right side but there is two right and left.

nfnsquared

sub'd for final outcome

maverick06xx

so you really had the same problem? What are you lowered on? And you fixed your issue with oem arms?

bluntz have u had this issue? Do you have aftermartket arms? I would imagine the aftermarket arms i had went on loose then sat vehicle on ground then tighten them up.

waldimir

Yes, i really had the same problem.MY car was all stock, but to correct rear alignment i installed rear camber kit and aftermarket lower control arms.Then the problem begins. My car started all symptoms you described above.I got new OEM lower control arms ,did alignment and now my car drives normal

maverick06xx

oh so u werent even lowered wow. I looked at the aftermarket ones and it looks like there ia a small gap between where the bolt and washer makes contact with the arms. Ive search on ebay and its hard to find the ones i need. Both sides look identical, however there arent two are shorter then the other two. The ones closest to the rear if car are longer then the ones closest to the front of the car. Anyone know where i can get these?

maverick06xx

Bluntzs, i cant even loosen these right? Because it will mess alingment up correct? I was thinking of jacking the car up and lossen bolts, then let the vehicle down on ramps then tighten bolts but will this alingment up?
