Went to my local honda dealer because of heavy vibration while driving. dealership informed me that i needed to replace my rear control upper arm because my tires were cupping badly. i have already replaced tires yearly because of uneven wear. i called corporate honda, since i am out of warranty they will not reimburse with parts and labor despite 2013 settlement regarding this matter. it is a safety issue regarding tire suspension and honda is turning a blind eye.. *tr
This is related to suspension...three issue i have observed 1. the tires on my civic 2007 have uneven wear...i changed my tires about 2 years ago and could see the uneven wear on the old tired..that time i ignored it assuming it to be an alignment issue...however the new tires are also wearing out unevenly and that after after proper alignment. the last time i got tires rotated the mechanic suggested there is likely some faulty suspension. now i firmly believe it. 2. i hear a pop/cluncking sound when going over bumps. 3. i hear a click/pop sound coming from the front wheels when turning.
Excessive inner tire wear. wheel is out of alignment, but not adjustable. fix is to purchase adjustable arms, then align. *tr
Rear upper control arm kit needs to be replaced. currently causes uneven, rapid tire wear. i bought the car new in 2007 from this dealership and have it serviced by this dealership since then. a service bulletin 08-001 was issued 1/22/08, but i was just told by the dealership on 8/18/14 about this. they refuse to cover the cost of repair. *tr
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
Bad control arm causing premature.tire wear. *tr
Tires have worn unevenly due to rear balance arm/ strut assembly issue which have caused the wheel assembly to canter and be toed in, which in turn has also damaged the suspension/springs. car now leans to driver side in the rear. car has had 4 sets of tires and has less than 90,000 miles. due to uneven tire wear the car is extremely loud (ear damaging loud) and vibrates (shimmies) at speeds above 40mph. we were told by a honda dealership that only an after market adjustable balance arm will correct the problem. american honda refuses to take any accountability. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving at any speed, the rear suspension caused the tire to exceedingly vibrate from the rear end. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,000.
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.
I am having premature tire wear due to a faulty rear control arm. please help! my car hydroplanes and the vibration on the steering wheel is horrible on the highway. *tr
While driving in a residential area at approx 20-25 mph, there was a loud bump as if a rock had hit the underside of the car; shortly the steering was off kilter -- to go straight had to keep the steering wheel turned 30 degrees right; loud rubbing sound; pulled into a driveway and then could not back up -- found that right front tire was bent in, so that top of tire abutted the wheel well. car towed to dealer -- found strut bolts on right front tire were loose. car had been serviced one week prior: replaced failed starter and performed oil change and b service with inspection of brakes and tire rotation. *js
