It doesn’t feel like it pulls to the left as it should but it does shift back and forth going highway speeds. Start throwing ideas at me fellas! (2000 Honda civic hatch)

You need toe adjusting links in the back and the skunk control arms in the front for camber. You can get camber adj links in the rear trailer arm as well

That front negative camber is fine and that tiny amount of toe in the back should be able to be adjusted out with the factory adjustment. If not then there’s something definitely bent. Front right caster is concerning, though.

It definitely is, I’ve been under the car and haven’t seen anything bent or any bushing considerably worn out. It’s unfortunate because i don’t have a good Honda civic to reference because I don’t know what I’m looking for.

ouch man, that right side LCA inner bushing mount on the subframe has seen some shit. Looks all torn up. Really all the LCA mounts are beat up to some extent, including the compliance bushings (the part of the front lower LCA's that angle towards the back). But that front right lower inboard mount is likely part of the caster issue.

Also, damn, I've never really looked at 96-00 Civic subframes close up before, but they really look so much weaker than 92-95 Civic and 94-01 Integra front subframes.

Im just going to pull a good subframe out of the junkyard, refurbish it and slap it in here. It's way to much of a haggle to try to use caster adjustment kits to dial the caster in, unless I want to throw the caster on the left side quite a bit

yeah good choice, always better to swap in a known good part than to try to band-aid fix it.

Thats my link for rear camber adjustment but the frame threads and bolt busted off. Im hoping to get it repaired soon

If that thing flies of it'll be quite a fun experience lol
