Lots of rear wheel camber


This is on my 2013 TSX. Not sure if I never noticed it or what. Camber seems excessive especially considering its stock height. I’m not noticing any wear on the inside of the tires, but they are fairly new. Should I get a camber kit to correct this, or is there other alternatives?

Get an alignment and see what it says

Rear suspension on these will squat with weight so camber will vary based on how loaded the rear end is. Can't really tell from the photo as it's a bit of a weird angle, but it doesn't look too excessive. The car does have a bit of negative rear camber in stock formation, roughly a degree or so. Here's what mine looked like at stock height.



after being lowered and still with stock arms, I'm still sitting at a reasonable -3 degrees.



Due to the suspension geometry on this chassis, the rear tires WILL start cupping even with an in spec alignment if the tires are not rotated. I personally prefer to rotate my tires every oil change and it keeps the cupping to a minimum, if not any at all.

looking at the photo you took of your car in stock form that’s exactly what mine looks like. I guess I just never noticed it. Not seeing any wear on the inside of the tires, but I’m going to start rotating them more often going forward. Appreciate the feedback.
