I usually replace the whole corner if I think it's off. Usually 300 for used good parts for the corner

Paying for the alignment each time will cost you more. Take the toe arm off and check if its straight. A slight bend will easily make toe hard to achieve

 

Yeah, that's probably what I'm gonna do boyguan. Luckily I know a member that's close who's a honda tech and can probably get me on the rack a few times for the price of one alignment.

I've decided that I'm going to jack up the car today and check all of the rear subframe bolts/mounts. I'm gonna loosen all of the bolts, check for bent mounts/bolts, and see how much I can move the subframe and then torque them to spec.

 

Hi
I have the same problem now. I really don’t understand with the shops cannot identify where the problem is(not even Honda) in situation like this ,and you need to go and change a lot of parts without knowing which part is the correct one and which part is bend and is really disappointing and frustrating to go piece by piece. My front wheel just dropped down 1cm and I switch the suspension left and right to see if it was the problem but is the same. Yesterday I change the front lower arm but still the same. Now I have to go piece by piece for the knuckle the cross member and the upper arm. And is really disappointing because you spend time and money and the solution, is to end up buying parts that you don’t need.
I am really happy that you post this because it was going over my mind too and I was hoping for some answers.
Isn’t there a way to know which part you need?

 

Unless you have a known good part to measure against you can't tell

I bent something before and its so slight I can't tell with my eye. You would have to measure accurately against a good part

Even at a shop it's guess work sometimes

 

I've found that most shops simply replace everything till the problem is fixed because most don't have a way to tell if anything is bent and want to get as much money out of you as possible.

I just ended up buying a toe arm and upper control arm for the damaged corner, so I'll throw those on when then get here and see if that helps anything! If nothing changes, I have narrowed it down to the subframe or the control arm mounts.
