2005 RL rear camber kit needed

My tire dealer and Acura dealer are telling to ask for help on an Acura forum to find a rear camber kit. The tire store alignment department made adjustments as far as the factory equipment will allow and it is still outside acceptable specs. The dealer said they don't have a rear camber kit to extend the adjustment beyond factory equipment on the car. Any suggestions? Just replaced rear tires due to excessive wear on the inside of both tires.

As I stated in the other thread. Possibly damaged component in rear suspension due to accident, curbing, pothole etc.

People think that we wont see the post in the threads so they think they need to start a new topic.

Unfortunately we have a "be nice to noobs" policy.

Really? Not sure it's the place for me then, I've never had that policy on the forums I've owned.


Just to stay near the topic...
Are there any adjustments on the RL for camber/caster and/or rear toe ?
Since we've had this one we've had snow so not had chance to crawl under it yet. Although I do need to do the tracking as the steering wheel sits slightly off centre.

Just answering my own query..

The rear toe can be adjusted using the cam bolts on the inner of the control arm.

Doesn't look like much work required to make it more adjustable though, or to make camber adjustable.

The only camber kits here have been custom adapted from other cars. Is this for factory suspension or lowered?
