Continuing with the pre-inspection before visiting the alignment place.


All of the bushes were getting tired and lots of hair line cracks were observed.
It’s the same on my NSX and I can feel the sudden changes in load at fairly early
stage of cornering.

Honda doesn’t sell these bushes as a separate parts so I’m planning to install the
aftermarket pillow ones in the future.






Even using the wire brush and lots of Acetone/ATF mixture, having lots of fun loosening
the locking nut at the tie rod.








Already someone tried to inspect the small rattle at the FL rack.
It could be simple as loose locking washer at the rack end or it could be time consuming
EPS rack issue.

Need to open this boot for the inspection so may be next time.







You don’t want to have your camber adjuster bolt to seize inside the metal collar
surrounded by the rubber bush.

Nightmare to remove.

So, always spray some silicone grease inside the metal collar as well.






As seen on so many NSX, this one was also showing the seized Caster adjuster issue.

From the blue paint marking, looks like it was never touched.


Hope both R & L sides come out close enough together.
