Default Eccentric camber bolt ?

Does the 2007 Honda Accord V6 rear camber, have a eccentric camber bolt at either end, to allow the factory to adjust the camber ? Are there different amounts of offsets available ?

Thank you.

Yes. Within a certain range it can be adjusted, see #20 and #21 in the pic.

If more adjustment is needed, I'd think something else is bent.

Thank you very much for helping me on my car. Front readings were perfect from the factory. 0 degrees error.

Rear. Not good at all. -1.6 & -1.8 . Will have the shop do the job right.

Thank you very much.

Your welcome...that is what most of us are here for....trying to help.

I will say, the readings you gave should be able to be corrected by the factory bolt.....I did have a shop tell my wife one time that they needed to install some "special" bolts to correct her rear camber on the Pilot, they wanted ~$40 for the parts....needless to say she called me, I called the service manager....he very quickly changed his story, her alignment was corrected without the magical ~$40 parts and the last time they will ever see any of my cars for tires or alignment....sorry, as you can tell this teed me off.

You posted a picture of the rear hub assembly & said # 20 & # 21 & #14 should do it. Are they the rear most & lowest rod ? I ask because the eccentric bolt & bushing was seized tight. The Honda parts woman ordered rod #13 , 2 bolts & 1 nut.
She seemed confused. So I had her order # 14 & the eccentric bolts & nuts.
I am tempted to take both rods & hardware with me. Just to make sure we have the right one. Good Idea ? Returned parts are O K.
Are left & right sides using the same parts ?

Your profile is set not to get e-mail or PM's....I could change that but you set it that way for a reason or go behind and find your email address .....so, to answer you questions.

I don't think I ever said #14, If I did that is wrong, if you just need the camber bolt and "plate". Most of the time you can "hammer" the bolt out of the arm without replacing the arm...had this on my 95.

You can go online to majestic honda or many other dealer sites and look this up....category= Rear Lower Arm....click the pic to make it bigger.

According to the online site I go to, the arm (14) and bolt (20) and plate (21) are the same on drivers and pass side.
