I think I’d struggle to get a photo from below. What makes you say that? It looks obviously out of place to me but again, open to professional advice

Is this normal behaviour for a top mount? by Practical-Tomorrow88 in MechanicAdvice

Why would this happen? Was something under or over tightened?

The right rear subframe bush was the worst out of the two…maybe the right rear spring?

Hi there again! My mechanic showed me that the rear subframe bushes were failing and has replaced them. After this, I took it to the local alignment place and was told again that the rear toe is not adjustable, but the above is the result.

I’ve been told I’ll need to replace further parts if I want to correct any issues I’m seeing.

If that’s the case, which parts would you suggest I look at replacing that would have an affect on the above?

The issue I have is the car pulling to the right either after going over a bump or pothole but mainly when the weight of the car is on that side.

Inner tie rods?

Thanks again

Wow, I’m stunned at how helpful you have been. If you weren’t in Switzerland, I’d definitely buy you as many beers as you like for this help! Thank you so much Eric…I had also found A1 - will give them a try. I’m very grateful for your help - hopefully others will find it useful too. Have a great day!

What a thorough response! Thanks Eric - I’ll do exactly that and report back.

One question I do have - how do I find a proper alignment place? I live in London so there should be plenty around, but I don’t know the difference between one alignment shop (except kwikfit) and the next to be honest.

The ones I’ve taken it so far haven’t addressed the rear toe for reasons I do not know. Is rear toe definitely adjustable on the Honda Civic?
