I have a 07 Honda Civic Ex that has some back wheel alignment problems. The back tires are toeing out and after leaving several messages at my Honda dealer, my boyfriend called them for me. They called him back and left him a message saying that the there is a known problem with the Honda's and to bring it in. Where would I find any information on that? I already checked for recalls and can not find anything on my honda owner link. Does anyone know what this problem is or if there is a website that could tell me what the deal is?

honda has a service bulletin that it sent out to its dealers on the conditionSYMPTOMThe customer may complain of uneven or rapid reartire wear, a roaring noise from the rear, or a vibration athighway speeds.PROBABLE CAUSEThe combination of the tires and the rear suspensiongeometry may cause rapid and uneven rear tire wear.Tires in an advanced stage of this diagonal or inneredge wear may cause vibration and/or a bad bearingtype noise. CORRECTIVE ACTIONInstall a rear upper control arm kit, replace the flangebolts and the worn tires and do a four-wheelalignment.it should be covered under your warrantyyou may be able to get a copy of the bulletin on www.fedworld.com hope that helps

Honda guy: I have a similar problem in that my care makes a woob-woob-woob sound while driving, and the tire store said the rear wheels need an adjustment kit (tires are now cupped). I find there are all sorts of controller arm parts and since I know little about cars, am wondering if you think this part would do the trick: Eibach Rear Control Arm

Thank you for your input.
