Hello all...about 3 weeks ago I had my 60k maint done and the next day my buddy was following me and he noticed that my left rear tire looked to be leaning in a bit. It wasn't enough for me to notice it while driving. Well today I finally have time to take it back to the dealer so they can take a look. It is slightly noticeable compared to the other tires but it hasn't affected my driving at all. I know I didn't hit any curbs sense I left the dealer so I'm wondering if it was malpractice on the dealers part and if it is I shouldn't pay for it, we shall see.

It's a sign of aging for Elements - yours is starting to go gray.

As the rear coils get tired things begin to get askew in back.

The problem is exacerbated by repeatedly carrying heavy loads.

A set of adjustable rear arms will give the ability to keep things symmetric and within spec.

To this day, I'm surprised Honda didn't equip Elements with this when they left the factory.

They're not too expensive and a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.

Well I just came back from the dealer and the toe, not the camber, was way out of alignment so I just had them realign all the tires. I think the previous owner did a lot of towing with the E and it's starting to show but the guys at the dealer said it was normal.
