Selected User Reviews For Specialty Products Company 67095 Adjustable Rear Arm with Ball Joint for Acura TL 2004-2008
A camber arm for the multilink rear suspension on my TL is an excellent choice. When I was driving on the highway at high speed, my car always kept to the left. According to my extensive research, uneven camber on both sides is one of the most damaging factors An obstruction on one side causes a pull on the other. In order to make the tires parallel with the fronts again, these arms brought the back of the car in line with the fronts. As I live in a winter state, the passenger arm was rusted to the bolt and bushing, so it required that I cut the factory part to install the replacement. When both arms are on after about six hours, I immediately notice a more planted driving feel, which is more stable and without any more dangerous pulling. The next step is to align again and dial it in. You have taken your TL to an alignment, but it still pulls, and you still have the same problem. Get your car to behave the way it is supposed to by tackling these problems.
The belt of the rear tire started showing in one of the rear tires within the first year after I bought the used 2008 TL with 50k miles (I never rotate my tires but I brought it to the alignment shop right away when I found out about this problem)! How could Acura be so incompetent - Do you not have a way to adjust the rear camber? On road trips, the car always pulled one way so hard that you could feel it in your arm. Despite the fact that I knew it wasn't normal, the alignment shop told me all of these cars do it Tires are just a snack to them- The problem has not been fixed. As a matter of fact, 1 toolbag said it's the crown of the road. The last time I was there was 30 years ago. In order to fix the problem myself, I followed these steps If the temperature is 5 degrees or higher. I am 75. Keeping 0" at the top), I made these arms that much longer than the stock arms, and BAM pretty Take a look at Pickle fork from Pep Boys - it's not hard and well worth the effort! MAKE SURE IT IS NOT TOLD BY TIRE/ALIGNMENT SHOP THAT IT CANT BE FIXED! It's supposed that they're leaned in at the top 1 degree, but I adjusted mine (confirmed after getting aligned again. By the way, you can buy lifetime alignment at Firestone Automotive A great deal at $150) to about zero degrees and it still handles great and does not pull to the side anymore. You can try it at the store if you don't want to at home A shop will probably be able to do it, I had to do it in my garage for about an hour each side.
All you need is 2 wrenches. careful not to tighten down the bolt on the inside of the arm before you preload it otherwise if you tighten it down all the way while it is in the air, then put your wheels back on and drop the car, the bearing will twist and it will wear out sooner. Then, I tightened the bolt before replacing my wheels and setting the car down, using a jack to jack up the entire suspension from the knuckle, just like it would be if the car was on the ground. It's also a good idea to adjust the arm so that it is the same length as the stock arm, so you can adjust it from there while it's on the car or take it to a professional shop for.
It is well known that Honda makes some "good enough" cars. In addition, your new Acura should have an alignment in specification if everything is in order. If the suspension components sag or wear, camber will drift out of tolerance and cause the tires to wear more quickly. If you reduce the height of your Honda and it upsets the geometry, these camber arms are essential. You can let go of burning out your PS4+ tires with these camber arms. An Acura TL camber specification was restored after being out of specification since 2008.
Due to the fact that I was lowering my 2004 Acura TL, I purchased two of these. As per the instructions and torque specs in the FSM, I installed them. This is the picture, where the ball joint end has been pulled down, and the cotter pin is at the bottom of the castle. I measured them after pulling them out and we're at We were able to reduce the size by 60 inches. After returning them, I decided not to use.
did not opt for the adjustable lowering arms (camber toe links) because I have read that they do not last. I have Tein Street Advance coilovers, and the alignment can easily be brought back to factory specifications. * Be sure to replace the boots on these SPC arms with the original From Sep. - This section contains circlips (62338-A01) and decals This is SL0 The stock boots don't last on the SPC units according to what I have read. It would also be nice if the lock washers came with these. As a result, you must use an OEM castle nut since the SPC castle nut is too short (the cotter pin won't catch on.
For my 2006 Acura TL, I bought two of these to adjust the rear camber. It was just a matter of restoring the stock settings. I didn't want to do anything crazy. When a vehicle gets older and its springs sag, its alignment can start to deviate from its range. We used these instead of the stock arms because the stock arms aren't adjustable. After putting on these, you should make sure that they are aligned properly.
It worked great.
