bump steer kit is a great thing to have, since the angle on the tie rods changes when its lowered and as the suspension cycles the toe changes dramatically.

I've seen just as many ap2's with inner cv joint failures. All Honda axles are plagued with inner cv joint cup wear. Its just the way they design there axles. Any time I have a customer that has an issue we just change the inner joints - problem solved

The CV spacers for the rear are just a get by since your just moving the wear point on the cup so you can't feel the low spot anymore. Best bet is to swap cups from left to right and that way the low spot is on the deceleration side of the joint.

I have a kind of similar problem. My driver side rear wheel is cambered a lot more than the rest of the wheels. It seems to be getting worst as well. When I take hard corner I hear a grinding, creeking sound coming from what appears to be that corner. I'm located in Carlsbad. Does anybody know a good place I can take it to have it looked at without charging me an arm and a leg?
