They said the right rear wheel's camber was out of spec and there is no adjustment for camber. They asked if I had hit a pot hole or banged into a curb, it's an 09 tsx certified used (6k mi.) so it was probably damaged before I drove it off the lot.

They recommended putting on a lower control arm with an adjustment, I told them I'd call the dealership to see what, if anything, is covered under warranty. I took it home with no alignment/no charge.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket control arm that is as good as or better than OEM or should I stay with OEM?

Any other thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

I would say stay OEM. Not sure there are aftermarket control arms out there for our cars. Someone might know more. It takes a good wack to mess a control arm. That seems a little weird.

there is after market control arms i believe?

Took it to the dealership today, they later called & said that it was within specs and didn't need a control arm, said that other shops (non-dealership) sometimes don't have the updated software/specs and probably used a 'generic' Acura sedan and the reason why it measured out of spec, although the top of the sheet did say 2009 Acura TSX i4, etc...?

Paid $89 for the 4-wheel alignment, -- usually $129 and seems fine.

Yes, HeelToe does have aftermarket suspension for 2nd gen: http://www.heeltoeauto.com/home.php?cat=2548
