Question:

changing upper control arm for honda civic 97

by Guest6571 | 12 years, 8 month(s) ago

After changing my upper control arms. i took it our for a test drive, but there was a problem with the steering. It turns realllllllyyy easy and drags you to the direction where i was turning so i had really no control over car. I didn't touch nothing else on the car except taking out the control arm. Does anybody have anything that can solve my situation?

Have the front end aligned. Sounds like "positive camber". Replacing any front end component leaves open the possibility of changing the steering geometry. "Negative camber" is what causes the steering wheel to come back to center while driving. While changing the part is perfectly acceptable and smart...you just can't get around the shop alignment sometimes. Applies to tie rod ends, lower ball joints, and bushings as well.
