On my way to work, after normal driving for 2 miles, the vehicle lost it's power steering. I was just entering the freeway, so i got off on the next exit and took it directly to the dealership. One of the idiot lights on the panel would intermittently flash for a split second but would not remain on. The dealership was only a mile away. I parked the vehicle and waited for my turn. I turned the vehicle back on to…

Tsb 08-001 - rear negative camber is caused by the rear upper control arm for both rear wheels. As a result, the geometry of the wheel's position will cause excessive wear on the rear tires resulting in bald and cupped tires. This wear can cause early failure of the rear tires and loss of control of the car for the driver.

My 2006 honda civic ex is causing excessive, uneven wear to the tires because the rear control arm causes negative camber on the rear tires. As a result, i replace the tires once per year. In addition to the added cost, the car becomes unsafe after a period of driving because of the wear on the tire - creating cups and bald spots on the tire which could lead to failure of the rear tires and a loss of control for the…
