How to Adjust a 2000 Honda Accord Rear Wheel Camber

From the factory, the camber on your 2000 Honda Accord is not adjustable. To make adjustments for camber changes due to wear or lowering an aftermarket camber adjuster kit must be used. This kit replaces the upper suspension link with an adjustable unit; some kits include a replacement toe adjuster as well. One kit is needed for each side, and a four wheel alignment must be performed after installation to prevent severe tire wear.

Things You'll Need

• Aftermarket camber kit
• Metric wrench set
• Socket set
• Floor jack
• Jack stands
• Wheel chock
• Lug wrench

Instructions

1. Position wheel chocks behind the front wheels to prevent rolling while the rear wheels are off. Raise and support the rear wheels using the floor jack and jack stands. Position the jack stands under the sub-frame and lower the vehicle onto the stands. Remove the rear tires with the lug wrench, and store the wheels and lug nuts in a safe place.

2. Remove the upper rear suspension link with the 17mm wrench form the metric wrench set and the 17mm socket and socket wrench from the socket set. Position the floor jack under the suspension to relieve pressure from the weight of the suspension system. This makes removing the bolts easier.

3. Install the new rear suspension link using the bolts supplied in the kit. If your kit does not include new bolts, it is acceptable to use the original bolts. Use the floor jack to raise the suspension and tighten all bolts securely. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side.

4. Pre-adjust the camber so that the wheels are close to vertical when the wheel is installed. Reinstall the rear wheels and lower the vehicle to the ground using the floor jack to raise the vehicle while you remove the jack stands. Drive to the local auto repair shop for a wheel alignment.
