Original rear upper control arms (oem) need to be replaced due to known camber misalignment from factory. This well-known issue from honda (on 2006 - 2009 civics) causes uneven wear and shortens the lifetime of tires. The only option available to bring the alignment specs (camber) back into a safe range is to replace the upper control arms and tires. *tr

I experienced asymmetrical cupping and rapid wear on my tires due to a defective rear upper control arm. This is a known problem for honda (they issued a technical service bulletin in 2008 regarding the issue and there was a class action lawsuit in 2013). Since the deadline to file a claim with the class action suit has passed honda will not pay for the repair of this defective part.

Car towed to dealer --…

I just had to replace the tires for the second time on this car. The car is expiring uneven tire wear. This does effect braking of the car as well.

Rear tires tends to wear out faster due to design defect in upper controller arm. Drivers will be unaware of wore tread wear towards the body side posing a risk to loose control in some circumstances especially during wet conditions. In addition, value of the car depreciated due to paint fading and honda knowingly denying any defect in the quality of the paint used as cost cutting tactic during 2007 early recession.
