SUSP : rear disc conversion

[npor]

so what type of rear discs should i look for from my local junkyard?


prelude? 94-97 accord?

[djcaz_aom]

accord.

[npor]

okay..so i went to the yard yesterday and looked...


since my wheels are tilted in some from the accident..i was looking to see if any of thoes cars were the same..

all the wheels were either turned in....or out....even if the car has absolutley no damage what so ever. is this normal?

[Boost_Lee]

just wanted to bump this...

i got a 92 trunk and the rear disk setup for 100 bux! But i need to go back and get the E brake cables...

somebody answer me!

of course its not normal to have wheels facing weird directions...?

if the car is sitting lower than stock, the wheels will look like they are tipped inward. if its higher than stock, they will look tipped outward. just based on the physical design of a car suspension. what exactly are you talking about?

[npor]

noo...like...


okay, like 4WS. the wheel is turned inward, or outward a little. but..on usdm accords. just about every car i saw up there, the wheel was either turned inward, or outward.

but. i went today..and the only troublei 'm having is with the ebrake! how the hell am i supposed to get it off with both the ebrake, and all of the regular brake cables?

[npor]

bump for a very urgent ebrake cable question!!!

[Ronald_Type-R]

Disconnect the e-brake lines from inside the car (Right behind the e-brake handle), and then go underneath the car and follow the e-brake lines..Along the lines you should see clips bolted on to the chassis..Those clips hold the e-brake lines in place..Soo wherever you find the clips, take off the bolt that holds it in place, aaand once you manage to get them all off, you should be able to pull out the whole rear disc assembly out of the car wit hthe e-brake lines attached to them

Hope that helps..

thanks alot man.

i'll update whenever i get the parts from the yard.

the rear tires of most cars have a toe IN meaning the rear driver side for instance if looking directly at the tire looks like it's going to turn to the right. that's normal. camber is normal too if you lower the car esp on the rear. if your car is something else then i would be concerned. take a pic and show us.

[npor]

hmm, okay. i think i got a way to show you.


insted of being like |---|
it's like /---|

but not as drastic. and that's not looking at the car in terms of camber, i'm talking about the direction the wheels are facing. like looking at the wheels from above.

but...are you saying that's normal?

[Ronald_Type-R]

You probably should take your car to an alignment shop and see what they say...I mean, your car did get hit from that side after all..By the look of the pics that you posted last time, it seems to have a bit too much toe-in..But maybe it just looks like that from the angle where you took the pics

Have you checked the suspension components, see if anything's bent?

I believe my rear has -0.5 toe in on both sides..Not much really, you can barely see the difference..
