Rear Adjusters Seized

[KROMEkid]

I have a 95 gs and I'm having a problem. My rear tires were wearing badly so I brought it to a shop. They said I needed an alignment. Wouldn't be a problem except the adjusters are so rusted that all shops refuse to touch it.

I read in a different thread about guys destroying the adjusters to fit in new ones. I also read about guys installing camber kits, allowing them to adjust the wheels a small amount. Any suggestions?

Almost every one I ever tried to adjust or disassemble have ended up meeting the sawzall. The good news is you can get a replacement bushing and camber bolt pretty cheap. My bet is if its been in there long enough to freeze up it would be better to just buy a new control arm and camber bolt since your ball joint is probably pretty old than try to replace the bushing.

Call up JNZ and tell them you need the rear toe adjuster bolts. You might want to go ahead and buy new rear toe arms, since the bushings are probably shot and it will save you the headache. Rear sway bar endlinks are also right there, and are a pain to get apart, so get those too.

Put it all back together with anti-seize.

The rear toe adjuster bolts rust permanently to their sleeves. You will have to use a sawzall to cut them out and then replace the arms. Here's a great writeup on how to do it: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...3-replacing-seized-rear-toe-control-arms.html.
