Rear Arm Replacement is Essential for Proper Alignment in Lowered Accords When lowering a car on coilover suspension, proper wheel alignment is crucial.
In many cases, factory suspension arms do not provide enough adjustability, leading to excessive negative camber and improper toe settings. This is why replacing rear arms is necessary to achieve correct alignment, especially on lowered Accords. Unfortunately, in every single case, the factory suspension bolts are completely seized due to age and corrosion. The only way to remove them is by cutting them out, which significantly adds to the labour cost. Without replacing these bolts and arms, proper alignment is simply not possible.
